Trees page updated: The Crogen and Pontfadog Oaks
February 15th, 2010 | 
Author: I have added two of the oldest oaks in Wales to the Trees page. Both of them are in poor condition and we may lose either or both of them soon, so I would urge you to go and visit them if you can. They are both near the wonderful historic town of Chirk, which is well worth a visit on its own. I was made aware of the plight of the tree by this article: BBC news item.
How much longer will they be here?
The village of Pontfadog is delightful, and I highly recommend the Swan Inn for a nice drink. All that, and wonderful old trees too!

Tree Page updates
I have put some new entries into the Tree page, and have added some more details about the exact locations of the trees, including detailed MultiMap locations, directions on how to find the trees, and better location descriptions.
New additions:
- Hawthorn at Long Meg
- Rowan at Pendle Hill
- Oak at Nine Ladies
- Tallest tree in Wales
- West Kennet Guardian Oak
Now updated again (9th Dec). So go see a tree!
