THE ANCIENT TREES OF WINDSOR – HISTORY, LEGACY & LORE

Julian Hight has travelled widely, camera in hand, to document and tell the stories of historic ancient trees. Using archive and contemporary photographs, music and film, Julian explores the story of Windsor Great Park and Forest told through remaining ancient trees and customs – living links to history – and its relevance to Selwood Forest.

Established as one of the first Norman royal forests by William I, the park hosts trees thought to date back to the conquest. Windsor is one of the prime sites in Europe for ancient oak and its associated wildlife – living descendants of the original ‘wildwood’.
