Wrekin

February 2005 – Tony Hackett: The largest grows on a steep slope. It is variously known as the ‘secret’ or ‘hidden’ yew. Eight stems grow from the bole. No fewer than nineteen young yews grow in almost a complete circle, approximately 40′ in diameter, around the parent tree.
August 2008 – Ian Robert Brown: It was a treat to see a yew doing what it does best! putting out many branches into the surrounding earth and having countless offspring forming a half ring around the parent tree. It looked in great condition with no sign of disease or deadwood. The location of this yew is on the north side of the Wrekin about 450 yards south east from the Prince of Wales Camping huts. It can be found at the top of a line of young yews leading up a steep slope and away from a trail path. It really was fantastic to see a yew of this size that has had little to no human interference.
