good question really but they are for sure at 100 feet when they are this height its hard to tell but other trees in these woods that i have climbed have been close to the 120 feet mark judging my rope was 36meters and when at tip it was brushing the floor

i remember those, they did look tall when i saw them too:thumbup:

The tallest UK broadleaf tree is a london plane in dorset thats around 50m if i remember rightly. Climbed a wellingtonia in the new forest that was around the 50m mark too. Was a while ago though, its probably grown. One tree im looking forward to doing when im back in the UK is the london plane at the london wetland centre in barnes, SW london. It is HUGE in spread and height. Towers over the rest of the forest! I also know of a fairly large beech in surrey thats pretty secluded, both could do with measuring!

Found this, might be of interest.

 

Monumental trees in the United Kingdom

 

It does seem that most trees were measured by laser though

Dan, fancy re-measuring that cedar we climbed as it looks like its bigger than the cedars on the website.

Yes, I really can't believe the last measurement was correct. Prob best sometime Feb onwards for me
