Walk 29: Trees

Frodsham Festival of WalksA 2-mile walk through the woods to discover more about some of the more obvious plants and trees in our countryside; taking approximately 2 hours. We will walk and discuss some of the mythology and folklore that go along with them, explaining why, according to Celtic mythology, Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread, why Sycamore is the lover’s tree and why burning Elder wood may invite death in to the family. We will also look at how we tell each of the tree species apart, looking at a variety of features and getting to grips with telling Oak from Beech, Ash from Elm and Birch from Cherry. This walk will be a leisurely stroll through the woods to appreciate these gentle giants of our countryside and give you a new appreciation of them.
