    Kingley Vale was designated one of the country’s

    first National Nature Reserves in 1952. It is owned by

    Natural England and the West Dean Estate, who manage

    the Reserve protecting its special habitats, wildlife

    and heritage.



    Kingley Vale is known for its twisted and ancient yew trees

    and includes a grove of veteran trees which are among

    the oldest living things in Britain. Several are at least

    500 years old, with the oldest measuring more than five

    metres in girth.
