Lynford - Lynford Hall (Norfolk)

In the grounds of Lynford house there is a double rowed set of Giant Redwoods called Sequoia Avenue. This magnificent set of trees were planted in the 1800's and were originally laid out alternately with pink flowering chestnuts. The chestnuts have long since gone and many have been replaced with new Redwoods, which look to be around fifteen years old. Walk along the grass field through this avenue and you will reach the huge house, now used as an hotel. Go around the house a little and you will see a lovely garden - definitely worth a stroll on a warm summer evening. There is an interesting statue near to the house, if anyone knows the history of this we would be very pleased to hear from them. One of the stumps from a Redwood that has been cut down has had a name (looks like "BRT HALL") and a date ("16/07/99") carved into it. It would be nice to know a little more about this as well. You can read about the history of Lynford Hall on their website.
