Melin-y-Coed - Cyffdy Hall (Caernarvonshire) |
A couple of fierce looking sheep stood guard firmly at the entrance of this magnificent avenue of Giant Redwoods. Once safe passage was eventually gained, the sheer magnificence of these goliaths of trees became apparent. Time permitted the measuring of just a few of the largest in this avenue and, as the table below shows, they are among the largest measured for the Redwood World web site so far. The avenue of well spaced Redwoods curves gently up towards the entrance of the house, and although those on the left have had their bark nibbled by horses in previous years, they seem to be doing well. Those on the right have escaped this unwelcome attention. A fine avenue to have as a driveway, not baa-d at all! |
