Not mentioned in the books is Ripley Castle, not far from Harrogate. There are some superb 'heritage trees' is the parkland there. Well worth a look.
Enjoy your journey! I love to do something like that.

Check the woodland trust web site and search on the web for veteran trees. I had a day veteran tree surveying at Ripley Castle, and it was wonderful, but quite a few of the trees are not in public access areas.
The Woodland Trust maps veteran trees with information about access where available, and the trees reported are verified. Some not currently verified near me don't seem to be there, but the verfied information is very good, you will get OS grid refs and more for many.
