19 JUNE 2025
10.30am – 12.30pm
PART 2 of the Ancient Tree Walk. Marvel at some of the oldest and largest trees in the country, from 350-800 years old. See an unusual hollow Common Lime (this is difficult to age as the trunk has fragmented, but perhaps it is 500 to 600 years old, with a girth of 7.46m). The Park is also dotted with magnificent oaks , beeches and chestnuts with some of the most ancient trees in Europe.
Our walk passes Capability Brown’s famous view across Upper Pond to the House.
