Llangernyw, a lush, 4,000-year-old yew tree, was inducted into a list of 50 Great British Trees by the United Kingdom Tree Council in 2002, which, as far as tree honors are concerned, is a pretty big deal.

Llangernyw was planted in what is now a North Wales churchyard way back when the Egyptian Pyramids were still considered a new development.
