| Brinton Hall is a 16th century house rebuilt in 1822 and has quite a history attached to it. There are tours on certain dates of the year which includes a snowdrop walk in February. The owners were very helpful and pointed out several other marvellous Redwood trees they had planted on their fields (including a Gold Rush Dawn Redwood), as well a collection of other trees. They also very helpfully told us of several other places to visit in the area that have Redwood trees. |
