Beschreibung:

Betty Kenny Tree - Shining Cliff Woods Betty Kenny (Kate Kenyon) and her charcoal burner husband Luke lived during the late 1700's in this huge yew tree, reputed to be 2000 years old. Their house was formed within the tree, probably with a turf roof. They raised 8 children, and are said to have used a hollowed-out bough of the tree as a cradle. Local legend suggests that this is the origin of the nursery rhyme "Rock-a-bye-Baby". Groundwork Erewash Valley have developed the circular Betty Kenny Walk which visits this ancient relic.
