TREES THAT MADE BRITAIN

Every native tree in Britain has a story to tell, whether it's part of a grand avenue, a thriving hedgerow, an ancient wood or a colourful orchard. Author and photographer Archie Miles takes us on a journey to discover how trees have shaped the cultures, myths and fabric of Britain. Taking in the oak used in HMS Victory, longbows made from yew, and advice on visiting some of Britain's finest living examples, the combination of rich historical material and lyrical descriptions captures the essence of our native tree species.
