A sacred spot with lots and lots of history.. Legend has it that this tree is over 3,000 years old. The oldest in the UK. This is the site of a former Abbey. Please help to preserve this sacred spot for future generations.

Just a 10 minute walk from The Island, this iconic 2,500 year old yew tree is steeped in history. According to popular belief, it was beneath this tree that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and some reports suggest that he even proposed in its shadow. While Magna Carta is said to have been sealed at Runnymede, there are those who argue that the event actually took place on the other side of the river, perhaps under this very yew. An extended walk from the Yew will take you across National Trust land to the village of Wraysbury. Enjoy refreshments at The George before your return.

It's a little out of the way but well worth the journey, open all year round with an ancient 2,500 year old yew tree and the remains of a Benedictine priory to discover. With a wonderful array of wildlife and a wide variety of trees, Ankerwycke is the perfect spot for a peaceful walk.
