where in Cornwall is this? Never heard of it.Talskiddy

It is exactly where the coords put it – one mile north of Looe
Great Tree does exist, I have been there, I just can't for the life of me remember where it is in Cornwall. I spent about an hour pouring over multimap trying to find it with no luck. Problem is there are so many little villages in Cornwall that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.--Badharlick 06:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Edited this article to remove a bunch of rubbish that was totally unrelated to the place. Something about some Ash tree and some fighting... I don't know. I looked at the references and they certainly weren't relevant. Also corrected the fact that Cornwall is a duchy, not a county, that cornwall is NOT in England, and that nobody cares about whether or not some place has a bus service. 99% of Cornwall isn't served by busses simply because it's so sparsely populated. There really isn't much point in having an article on Great Tree because there's pretty much nothing there except for a huge caravan site and some houses. Nearby Hessenford, No Man's Land, or Widegates would be better, since Great Tree is no more than a farm labourer's hamlet.▫Bad▫harlick♠ 23:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While you are right to have removed that irrelevant content, I contest your assertion that there ...isn't much point in having an article on Great Tree because there's pretty much nothing there except for a huge caravan site and some houses...
Firstly, it is a specific place in Cornwall and that in itself makes it notable – if size or "nothing there" was the criterion we'd lose most of the Cornwall places articles. Secondly, the fact there is a huge caravan site and some houses makes it notable and contradicts your assertion there's nothing there.
Hessenford, No Man's Land, and Widegates all now have articles.
