There’s plenty of entertainment and sightseeing available within a short drive from Tan Y Ffordd Touring Park.
A must see
The oldest tree in the UK and one of the oldest living things in the world lives in Llangernyw 1.4 miles away from the touring park.
This yew tree lives in the churchyard of St. Digain’s Church in Llangernyw village. Although it is very hard to determine the age of yew trees, the churchyard gate holds a certificate from the Yew Tree Campaign in 2002, signed by David Bellamy, which states that “according to all the data we have to hand” the tree is dated to between 4,000 and 5,000 years old.
A carved stone board by the tree itself confirms the age makes the Llangernyw Yew one of the oldest non-cloning trees in the world.
