I met these amazing trees last weekend. They are small-leaved limes, and you don't see many this tall. I reckon these were at least 20m, but they may have been bigger.

From somewhere around 10,000 BC till the Late Neolithic, about 1,000 BC, limes were the dominant species in the ancient wildwood of Southern Britain.

Imagine walking through mile after mile under a high canopy of these majestic trees. I'd have loved that...
