Whinfell Forest
Whinfell Forest is now a small area of woodland in the parish of Brougham, Cumbria that lies south east of Penrith in Cumbria and just off the A66 road leading to Appleby-in-Westmorland. The forest is a short distance from the Lake District national park and is surrounded by a large number of woodlands that are located west of the Pennines. It is notable today for the presence of Center Parcs and a Red Squirrel reserve. It was notable historically for its associations with Lady Anne Clifford, Brougham Castle and Inglewood Forest.
==History==
Whinfell Forest has existed since at least 1203 when it "formed part of King John's grant of the Barony of Westmorland to Robert de Veteripont".〔 In 1283 it was divided between Isabella and Idonea, daughters of Robert II de Vieuxpont.〔H.R.T. Summerson et al., ''Brougham Castle, Cumbria'', English Heritage, 1988.〕 It is frequently mentioned in the diaries of Lady Anne Clifford (1590-1676) as she travelled in the area visiting Brougham Castle and Appleby-in-Westmorland.
Whinfell Park was at the core of the forest. Its proximity to Inglewood Forest meant that it was mentioned in court documents relating to disputes between the two areas. The park contained two frequently-mentioned landmark trees: the Harthhorn Tree and the Three Brother Tree.〔Thomas Cox, ''Magna Britannica et Hibernia'', (Volume 6: Westmorland ), 1731.〕 The harthorn tree had a hart's horn embedded in it. The Three Brother Tree was the sole survivor of three unusually large oaks called the Three Brethren. The site of the Harthorn Tree is marked on old maps. The name "Three Oaks" is used within the Center Parcs site. By 1779, the park had been divided into farms by enclosure.〔B. Tyson, "Oak for the Navy: a case study", ''Transactions CWAAS'' 85:117-126, 1985.〕〔I. Whyte, ''Transforming Fell and Valley'', Centre for North West Regional Studies, Lancaster, 2003.〕
Today, the forest forms part of the Lowther estates. A large part of it is designated by Natural England as Ancient Replanted Woodland.
