| Thanks to Jane for sending the above photograph of a Giant Sequoia that she found on a caravan site where she was staying while on holiday in Bridgnorth. Jane says "I thought it was really exciting, I did not know there were any in this country until I saw it - and your website. I did collect some cones and have planted some seeds that I managed to shake out of the cones. They are lovely cones." |

| Thanks to Jane's discovery, these photographs were taken while taking a detour through Bridgnorth on a sunny day. I discovered that there are in fact five Wellingtonia in all, four can be found near the entrance and the other one actually stands in the camping field with caravans all around. There are more Redwoods standing inside the grounds of Stanmore Hall immediately adjacent to the caravan site. |
