Nestled within the emerald embrace of Nutcombe Bottom in Minehead lies a titan of the forest: England's tallest tree. This majestic Douglas fir, planted in 1876, has stood sentinel for over 140 years, its towering form a testament to the enduring power of nature and the importance of sustainable forestry practices.

Imagine the journey! Witnessing this giant sapling sprout from the earth, weathering storms and seasons, growing taller with each passing year until it claimed its crown as the undisputed king of the trees. Its 60.05-meter stature measured in 2009 still inspires awe, while its 50-ton trunk and 1.74-meter diameter speak volumes about its incredible strength and resilience.
