What are these trees ?

Good morning on one of my walks I came across these,now I should know them ,but are they pine or cedar or something else,thankyou

My profound apologies @Marley Farley my dear friend just one of many senior moments

 

Where's the pic @wiseowl Woo ??

 

Sorry, @wiseowl I can't see them properly The trunks seem purple but can't see much of the leaves.

 

We all have those Woo..

Hmm a bit hard to tell.. Yes there are some Pines in there but I cannot tell which kind from the pics and also maybe a few Larch.. Larch lose a lot of their needles in winter and have tiny cones.. A close up of Bark and leaves/branches are usually a good way to tell if you can get some

 

Good evening @Marley Farley my dear friend you are right,I took the liberty of ringing the manager of the Holborough forest trust and he said that they are larch trees, and next time could I ring him to get permission before I go venturing in to their forest,I did ask if it was alright to go their tomorrow and he said no,wish I hadn't asked now

 

I said you should have joined Trespassers Anonymous . Now he's going to be on the lookout for an owl that can use a phone.

 

Good morning @shiney my friend I've a good owl mind to go back and spoil their "what they call fun "but they might shoot me

@wiseowl Is that a private road that runs off Pilgrims Way?

 

Oh dear Woo not quite the friendly answer you hoped for, but if it's used as pheasant cover then I think maybe better stay away.. Don't want you arrested as a suspected poacher.!

There is something about the Larch Tree I love.. Very graceful trees that take on some amazing angles sometimes, but a shallow rooted tree so they do fall over quite often in a strong winds as they become very top heavy with growth and bare trunks often..

 

Hello @shiney I am still trying to find out

Hello @pete this is as much as I can find out

In a nutshell, the right to roam is the freedom to walk on open countryside away from any paths. It means being able to walk freely, explore the natural environment and find your own way.
In England and Wales, you can walk in areas that are defined as open access. When you’re out walking, you’ll see the open access sign, meaning you’re free to roam.



There are over 3 million acres of land in England and Wales that are open access, meaning walkers can enjoy these areas on foot unhindered. On open access land you don’t have to stick to any footpaths, trails or other rights of way; you can walk wherever you want.

Find open access places
The simplest way to find open access land is to get hold of a map. All Ordnance SurveyExplorer maps show access land in yellow wash.

The first thing you’ll notice is that there’s a mixture of large and small patches all over England and Wales. Particularly large areas include parts of the Peak District, the Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Pembrokeshire, Exmoor to name a few.

You can also view Natural England’s Access Maps, where you can also find out about any temporarily closures, for example to protect ground nesting birds.

What type of land is included?
Most mountain, moor, heath, down and common land in England and Wales is open access.

Mountain is land over 600m/1,969ft above sea level and other upland areas of rough, steep land with crags, scree, bare rock and associated vegetation.

Moor is unenclosed areas of semi-natural vegetation, including bog, rough acid grassland and calcareous grassland.

Heath is unenclosed areas of nutrient-poor soils that support acid-loving plants such as heather, gorse, bilberry and bracken.

Down is semi-natural, unimproved grasslands in chalk or limestone areas, perhaps also supporting scattered scrub.

Common land is land registered as common under the Commons Registration Act 1965.

Since being introduced it has also been extended to include most woodland managed by the Forestry Commission and National Nature Reserves managed by Natural England.

 

@wiseowl you can find out from the local authority who is the local access authority (usually the same people) and whether you have the right to roam on that land. The land you showed us is Crookham Wood . You would need to check whether the Wood is 'Excepted land'.
