Beery Forest

[Farway]

Just spotted on the front page new pictures there are two trees, Walnut in Heworth & Litten in Stafford, no doubt similar names occur elsewhere

Can we make a forest from pub names?

Walnut
Litten
Royal Oak

I found lots of Pear Trees (enough to make gallons of perry) plus an Orange (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/12155/), a Chestnut (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/57675/), a Willow (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/30222/) and a Rowan (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/47406/).

[RogerB]

There's a Lava Bar in Tunbridge Wells. :whistle:

[NickDavies]

Doest the Beacon Tree (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/11760/) in Becontree count?

[Crossste]

In Rochdale there is the Birches and there used to be one called the Elms which i think is now closed.

[Wittenden]

In Biddenden ,Kent there used to be the Castleton's Oak which refered to a previuos landlord's coffin, used as a bar top, and much of my formative drinking-Watneys Special Mild-took place in The Firs at the end of Fifers Lane in Norwich.

[Oggwyn Trench]

We used to have a Pear Tree Bridge in Oakengates , theres a Peach Tree in Shrewsbury and theres a Shawbirch just down the road from me in Trench

Does the Grove count

[ETA]

There's a few Holly Bushes around - do they count? And various Vines? And of course the Cuckoo Oak.

If we're allowed specific trees we could have the Penderel's Oak (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/53712/), apparently named after an oak tree on the Penderel estate where King Charles hid from Cromwell's troops during the Civil War.

apparently named after an oak tree on the Penderel estate where King Charles hid from Cromwell's troops during the Civil War.

I knew that was the case with all the 'Royal Oaks', but have drunk in Penderel's Oak and had no idea re the provenance.

[Delboy20]

Although it is closed at the moment this counts as a forest on its own - http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/37982/
And then we have the Birch Tree - http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/37983/

[General Staal]

The Penderels were the family who owned Boscobel House in Shropshire (I think the county is right) in the grounds of which was the mighty oak in which Charles II allegedly hid after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The Penderels were Royalists who helped the King.
