Some of these trees are nearly three hundred years old. If you are a fan of ‘Game of Thrones’ you may have seen this magical place in one of the episodes in series 2!

It sounds magnificent. It is also such a part of our heritage. One of our families came across at the time of the Irish Famine, we then discovered the other day that the father fled the famine only to be killed in the Crimean war.
