Castle Eden Dene is the largest area of semi-natural woodland in north-east England, renowned for its yew trees. The tangled landscape is a survivor of the wildwood that once covered most of Britain. The Dene, with its strange rocks and mysterious atmosphere, has fascinated people for thousands of years. The reserve covers 221 hectares of woodland and lowland grassland, where post-glacial melt waters have carved out some spectacular limestone cliffs and gorges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Eden_Dene
