If Only They Could Talk To Us...
Berkshire Life
|May 2017
The trees of Burnham Beeches would have stories to tell about the people who for centuries have gathered firewood, grazed animals or now simply enjoy the lofty sights.
-
SOME of the ancient trees and stumps in Burnham Beeches take us back hundreds of years. And you don’t need much of an imagination when viewing the most skeletal woody remains to feel the link with even earlier times.
This is not surprising as here is a woodland area which has existed since the last ice age, although it would not have looked as it does now with the leafy trails which attract visitors from far and wide. Us humans have been busy in the Beeches since Iron Age times, shaping the ancient woodland, pastures, ponds and heaths.
