Forums The Coronation Avenue

The Coronation Avenue and The Squares Halfway down the Cross Avenue is the Coronation Avenue, originally planted as eight rows of London Planes and Horse Chestnuts from the South Glade to the western boundary of the garden. The intention was that intermediate trees should be removed to leave a double avenue. In 1968, a violent summer storm caused serious damage to many of the Plane trees, necessitating their removal and thus the Chestnut Avenue was created. The Squares are, as their name suggests, four areas bisected by the avenues and planted with specimen trees. The grass beneath the trees is managed to promote the diversification of wild flowers. From the Coronation Avenue there are good views of the plantings of trees adjacent to the house and of surrounding farmlands.
