| Perhaps not the best example of its type, this one Giant Redwood stands beside Danbury Lake, a little crowded by its surroundings but winning through nonetheless. Nearby is a Dawn Redwood, the top photographs show it in early spring so it is still quite bare. The second set of photographs were taken in summer time where it is in full foliage. Danbury country park has been created from the lakeside ornamental gardens of Danbury Palace. The woodland and grassland make for a pleasant place for a walk or a picnic, or for a game of ball with the children! |
