Witsman's Wood, Devon, England

We’re on Dart moor in Devon, where the bent oak branches of Witsman’s Wood shield a few of the rarest plant life found within the Joined together Kingdom. This antiquated location is one of Britain’s most noteworthy oakwood's and is an illustration of a mild rainforest, a uncommon living space found along the Atlantic coastline. The gentle and soggy conditions here make it perfect for a number of rare lichen, greeneries and organisms. The wood is domestic to Horsehair lichen (Breyonia smithies) found at as it were two destinations in Britain. Witsman’s Wood sits at an height of between 380 meters and 435 meters above ocean level. The foremost common sort of trees, as seen in our homepage picture, are greenery and lichen-covered overshadow oaks, which bend between rocks and along the woodland floor in places. It is thought that Witsman’s Wood is the precursor of an old timberland that secured much of Dart moor around 7000 BCE. The most seasoned oaks here are thought to be between 400 and 500 a long time ancient.
