Elm trees

Two of the very few mature elm trees left in England, at Upper Swell in Gloucestershire.

From Wikipedia: "Mature English Elms are now only very rarely found beyond Brighton in the UK, although some still survive on the Isle of Man and there is an isolated mature English Elm in the cemetery at Dervaig, Isle of Mull, Scotland. One large tree still survives in Leicester in Cossington Street Recreation Ground, one in Rosebank Cemetery, Edinburgh (3 metres d.b.h.), and two in Founders Avenue, Fettes College, Edinburgh (2.5 m d.b.h., 2011)"

First posted in the Guess where UK? group, but withdrawn for lack of interest!!
