- A man reads a poem by William Wordsworth about ancient yew trees in the Borrowdale Valley, Lake District England. Then decides to go searching for them. Thanks to Michael Dunning and the Yew Tree Mysteries for the information and inspiration.
That Song!!!! Now we are FREE💕 I feel the WIND when I play that Song! My hands. I feel them. God Bless ✝️
The Gaelic word uibhar( pronounced yewer)means new or life also Yew ,because the trees are the oldest trees which layer and live on forever, although the trees are poisonous the taxol from its leaves are used in anti cancer drugs. Tha iad beatha gu brath,tha gu dearbh. Timeless.
The word is IUBHAR,ruddy spell checker as in Glenure in Argyll
Hi Mark, thousands of walkers walk past them each year and don't know that they are walking past one of the oldest living organisms on this planet! You should have a look into the next valley famous yew in middle of Lorton village, also a little known stone circle just outside Cockermouth nr golf course elva plain!! Atb Jon
Magic. Thanks mate you surely are the new Alan whicker
The TREES. I want to touch one! Beautiful 💓
You have to hand it to the ancients. They really could pick a place to worship and hold sacred. That location is outstanding for its natural beauty.
The presenter is mistaken.
The piece of the tree from which 1500 rings were counted wasn't a branch from the top of the tree but was, as described on the Ancient Yew Group's data base, 'a major limb'. So, a date of 1500 years would be in order for a minimum age.
But for the tree tree to be older than the stone circles it would have to be some 4000 years old or more.
The evidence suggests this is unlikely.
Wow just wow!!! Thank you that was incredible - if only these trees could talk!
Wow! touching me deeply, very deeply within my soul

I moved into a house in this village in the new forest in 1975 - at 18 I moved out ,then returned , parents died , stayed in same place , got married , got kicked out , returned, got divorced , moved back in again in 2008 but between all the comings and goings , the neighbourhood remained pretty well the same until just after moving back in 2008 and strolling with our 2 Labs from the “ Rec.” , I felt a sense of openness near the top of our road . The sky or view towards our old house was clearer than I remember..Then it hit me like a train - a Yew tree which straddled the boundary of two of the ex council properties HAD DISAPPEARED. I was aware of the respect these creatures received but the idiot owner responsible for the destruction of the tree didn’t take the old warnings seriously enough - within a couple of years he’d dropped dead . In his late 40s I’d guess and generally engaged in a physical outdoor job . The loss to our neighbourhood is a terrible thing. As for the guy , good riddance ! Regards from Wessex ps will watch your video now 😃
Wonderful trees, I think I have to get there and see them for my own eyes. Thanks for sharing :)
Love the trees. Stories , the most important thing on or plant the trees!!!!
So interesting and very well made film. Thank you for your efforts!
🖤 Thank you , Mark .
Wonderful film Mark, really enjoyed it. 👍
My bagpipes are made from a Yew blown down in a storm from Kelvin park. Beautiful wood.
Wonderful story teller you are.
Thank you.
Wonderful Mark. Our ancestors revered and honoured the spirit of these noble and venerable trees, all trees had a "medicine" and power unique to their species. The yew is the mother of them all.
The gaelic language has only 18 consonants, and all are remembered by trees or bushes I.e. A = Ailm(elm) B= Beith(birch) C = Coll(hazel) D=Derrry(oak)etc as Gaelic is one of the oldest existing European languages it shows how trees were a primary importance for health, home and happiness ,
Thanks Mark, a smashing video, good research and information, keep up your good work mate.
Wow... absolutely beautiful places. Thank you for this. Well done.
just imagine the stories yew could tell
So true
Well that's on the list to visit! Nice one mate
I really loved the older video on Yew Trees you did. Looking forward to this.
Love it. Thanks!
Nice
Mark be careful watch for the fairy the live in them!! These trees are magnificent. They are a family of trees!!
The most ancient yew tree, I think, was located in Laos up the hill from the plain of jars. The remains of its fruit are still found all around.
That was truly spectacular to see. Thank you for bringing this video to us .So, if the area is called Barrowdale are there also barrows in the area?
It’s Borrowdale.
No sure where the name originated
Were you up in Edinburgh yesterday Mark?
I just found out that Mull or Iona was called the Island of the Yews, need to look into this.
That was fascinating. Isn’t the Capon tree outside Jethart a yew tree?
The Capon Tree is about a thousand 1000 year old remnant of the Jedforest and is an Oak tree, Querus,
