the Church of St. John the Baptist lies in the small Somerset village of Ashbrittle and dates back to the 15th century. If you think the church is old though, it's only an infant compared to the yew tree in its churchyard.
Named the Ashbrittle Yew, this extraordinary tree is thought to be over 3000 years old. With a girth of around 40 feet (12 m), multiple subsidiary trunks and huge canopy, this tree is absolutely worth seeking out. Understandably, it's not very hard to find.

Reputedly "the oldest living thing in England mature when Stonehenge was in use" so says the plaque.
