Blasted Ash in Hardwick Wood - In 1987, during the "great storm" which swept southern England, hundreds of mature trees at the top of Hardwick Wood were toppled and many of the few which survived were struck by lightning. This Ash, still showing lightning damage, is one of the few mature trees left standing - surrounded by young trees some of which were planted and some of which regenerated naturally.
