1. The Perry Pear Tree in the field adjacent to Bailey Lane, Hewelsfield Common, has been magnificent this year. In spring it was covered in blossom then by winter it revealed its true shape, gilded by the winter sun after rain. Photographs by Andy Stott




2. Magical looking Sweet Chestnut Trees above Hudnall’s House, St Briavels Common.
Sweet Chestnut trees can live up to about 700 years, developing twisted trunks as they become veteran trees. The largest sweet chestnut tree in the UK is thought to be the specimen at Tortworth, South Gloucestershire – a massive 13m across. Photographs by Rachel Bomford.
