@cgledhill: One of my favourite places. You can’t go inside the woods but can walk around the edge. Amazing this has survived for so long and I’m glad they are working on enlarging it. #historytok #nature #rainforest #dartmoor

I’m glad I got to explore inside before it was ‘closed’. Sadly they don’t want people going there anymore. But it’s to protect it from humans so it’s for the best

You probably should’ve kept this on the quiet. They’ll probably be a mosque on that in the next couple of months….

Don’t tell the UK government. They’ll build houses on it.

Not sure about "original" but it's definitly not the only patch of temperate rainforest in Britain, I know of projects that are working to conserve, restore and rebuild them. Plant Life UK have a temperate rainforest project and North Wales Wildlife Trust have been looking at restoring 1 on their Bryn Ifan nature reserve. Here's a map showing temperate rainforest locations across the UK https://map.lostrainforestsofbritain.org/

If you're visiting Wistman's, please pay attention to the sign and don't go inside. Also there have been cases of people taking the moss off the trees. If you're a visitor, please respect the forest and enjoy it's beauty!

It's not the ONLY part at all!! I have a book on the subject and there are several small areas up and down these isles... mostly on the Western edge.

Imagine if all of the UK looked this mystical. Its like a fairy tale, all the beautiful moss and lichen on the rocks and trees. I would get lost in that forest and never want to come out.

I’m curious because I’ve heard this before. Why say over 2000 mm of rain? Why not say over 2 meters of rain?

Wrong. There's the Welsh rainforest too. Same age. And larger area, by far.

There is also an ancient rainforest in Talsarnau, just outside Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales...

I just imagined how embarrassing it would be if you got lost in there because you kept walking straight down lengthways and kept getting turned around and just gave up and sat on the floor and then some hikers find you a couple days later like “wth are you doing man? 20 steps left and you’re out of here.” And you just nearly gave up on life because you thought you were never gonna make it out. 😂
