Giant Redwoods in the U.K. This site is about trees in Britain. Well, not just any trees, but some that are quite exceptional. Redwoods.

It is also their shape, their sturdy buttress style, their soft spongy bark, these all add to the appeal. Also, when you look up along the trunk of one, and see the slim branches sweeping gracefully downwards, well, there is just an air of pre-historic mystique about them...
