look savernake forest

The King of Limbs is named after an old oak in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire.

It stands a few miles from Tottenham House, where part of In Rainbows was recorded. Inside the CD fold Stanley Donwood named eight trees beside his drawings, from Yggdrasil to Goethe's Urpflanze. Ed O'Brien offered another reading: “Rhythm is the king of limbs!”
