| Marks Hall Estate at Coggeshall boasts a fine example of Giant Redwood. A short hill climb close to the entrance is rewarded with the sight of this terrific tree. Not the tidiest of form, though, but it does have branches almost to the ground - including a rather unusual very thick branch a metre or so from the base. A sturdy tree, well suited to withstanding the winter gales which must tear up the hill in this exposed spot.
There is a really nice walk around landscaped gardens, lake, and wooded areas so if you are passing this way with a few hour to spare do yourself a favour - take time to have a wander. |
