Oak woodland on Dartmoor. Moss-covered stunted oak trees and rocks in Wistman's Wood, a copse located at an altitude of around 400 metres on Dartmoor, Devon, UK. The altitude and conditions give rise to stunted growth, with pedunculate oak trees (Quercus robur) covered in mosses, ferns and lichens, which also cover the rocks. The wood is a rare relict of the ancient high-level woodlands of Dartmoor. Legends tell of the area being haunted. This site has been a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) since 1964, and is also a National Nature Reserve (NNR). Photographed in winter.
