Hi, I'm pretty new to Bonsai and very new to Yamadori.
I went for a walk up a fell towards Easedale Tarn as I knew I'd seen some wonderful trees on a rocky island by some small water pools and falls on a previous walk.

Anyway here are a few pictures which I took.

I didn't take anything but got lots of Bonsai inspiration.
Does anyone know what these are.?
The pictures don't do these justice, they were remarkable.

Amazing photos! Thank you for sharing!

It is hard for me to see the foliage clearly enough to guess at identification. If you had close-ups of the foliage, it would help tremendously.

These are almost certainly native Wild juniper- Juniperus communis. Sadly this species is in decline here due to an introduced disease- Phytophthora austrocedrae which is killing them in their remaining habitats in the uplands of Scotland and northern England, so you wont be popular if you start collecting these old trees in the wild !!

Yes it's Cumbria the UK.
I got my first Pinus sylvestris from a nursery Friday funnily enough.
Can I wave a wand and make it look like that?
How old would anyone say these were?

I wouldn't collect these for two reasons. They look fantastic as they are and it would spoil the landscape.
I'm also not experienced enough to and wouldn't dare.
I'm a keen walker and gardener so respect the surrounding environment.
I think you're right re the Ident, they didn't look like Pinus to me.
