The picture above was taken of Emmetts Gardens just after the Great Storm of 1987 and shows the Giant Redwoods that still stand today in this 4 acre arboretum. Since then many trees have been replaced. There is an interesting History page about Emmetts on the National Trust web site. |
![]() Giant Redwood - September 2005 |
The above picture taken on a misty, murky day in 2005 does absolutely no justice to one of the Redwood trees near the house. We are hoping to return for another visit sometime next year to take a better photograph and to see the young Dawn Redwoods which the Head Gardener told us about. |
