As the oldest living inhabitants on the planet, trees have played a
major part in the way we live today, providing both the daily
oxygen we breathe and the foundation of our nations heritage. Every
native tree in Britain, whether its part of a grand avenue, a
thriving hedgerow, an ancient wood or a colourful orchard, tells a
different story. The Trees That Made Britain takes us on a journey
of discovery to every corner of the nation. Through detailed
portraits of individual tree species, author and photographer
Archie Miles reveals the stories of the trees that have influenced
the culture, myths and fabric of the nation. The book is full of
surprising facts on how trees have been used by man over the
centuries, from the oak used in the building of HMS Victory to
ancient longbows made from yew, as well as practical advice on
visiting some of Britains finest living examples. The combination
of rich historical material and lyrical descriptions captures the
essence of our native tree species.
