50p might be 50 paces from tree stump

lovely place

Don't know if this has anything to do with this search but, there is a Ten Shilling Wood situated in Canley near Coventry. Pre UK decimal coinage was pounds, shillings and pence (£sd). Ten shillings = 50p.

Another quick look along the same lines. The tree under which Tolpuddle Martyrs met is now no more than a stump. They asked the employers for a pay rise from 7 shillings to 10 shillings. Instead their pay was cut to 6 shillings.

Aw, a wishing stump!

ooo... went there last september for a geography field trip... even had to sketch that waterfall, and walk past that tree stump! it is a very nice area! and Malham Cove is amazing!!!!

When i googled the 50p thing, it came up with 50 paces too, it seems to be a walkers/hikers thing.

This should inject some life into this search,
a small clue or two from SW......

1. Iron-aged counts as one word, not two.

2. Two lines are 100% TRUE,
Two lines are NOT.

Good luck and happy hunting!!

Thanks Bing, I had identified a place to look and was all set to go, but now you've put me off completely

. I found myself looking at something in a newspaper recently that seemed to fit with the first line. I researched it a bit more and it seemed to fit perfectly and did lead me to a location, that fitted with the rest of the riddle. Admittedly I didn't take one of the lines too literally so maybe I am on the right track. Still confused about 'iron-aged' and the use of 'our roots' rather than 'the roots' or 'it's roots', is it implying our heritage or origin :?:

The National Library at Aberystwyth is really the starting point for those researching their Welsh family History
Only 50 Pubs left in Aberystwyth
