Running around the edge of an industrial estate in Alnwick, UK, is Cawledge Dene, which I had a wander down for the first time yesterday. Denes are a feature of this part of the world and are deep steep sided valleys cut by meltwater as the last ice age receded. They almost all contain ancient woodland, some maybe have trees from native stock, as they are generally inaccessible and no use for farming. #valley #landscape #AncientWoodland

It's #ThickTrunkTuesday time again.

I have an oddity today. This elm was clearly forced to grow in odd direction - bent at a right angle just above the ground on one side, twisted and tilted on the other.

There's nothing left now to suggest what caused this, and as it lives in the largest patch of ancient woodland in the area, it may have been that way for a long long time.

I wonder if it grew through a dry stone wall, or something like that?

The controversial Red Route in Flintshire will not go ahead as planned. Instead, improvements will be made to the A494 at Aston Hill.

The low winters sun passes through the vertices of beech through to conifer maintenance.

Much of #Wentwood is planted #AncientWoodland, and much of it is in the process of restoration.

A mature sessile oak in its Winter dress in a woodland in Newry, showing off it’s fan-shaped profile. I assume it was a sapling when this area was an ancient woodland. Now it stands alone.

Morning, Mastodon and thanks to ecoevo for having me! Just sharing my favourite tree in all the world, a 200+ year old #beech in Denmark. It had so much history that you could feel in the branches and the stillness around it. I don't think it minded me climbing up for a hug. #treesofmastodon #ancientwoodland

More ancient woodlands, this time from Reenroe in Ballinskelligs, south Kerry. 🥰
