There is a bit torreya on the top of steps.

The diameter of the tree is 3.2m and it is 14m in height and about 500 years old. It is said that some of branches are already dead and amount of torreya nut has become less recently, but still many nuts would be dropped down in autumn. There is also another torreya about 200m beside the tree, it is rather smaller than the registered tree.
