 Giant Redwood |
| The grounds of Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest contain five Giant and four Coast Redwood, two of the Giants being very young examples that have probably been planted in the last ten years. It's great to see that the people managing the estate have an eye to the future as well as making the most of the legacy from the Victorian era. All five of the Giants and one of the Coast Redwood are close to the grand house that is now the hotel, and are on manicured lawns. A section of wall has been removed to allow for the growth of one of the largest of the Giants, as can be seen in the above photograph. |

| Two of the Coast Redwood are in an area of woodland on the edge of the grounds. As is fairly typical of the Coast Redwood, there is a great deal of young growth sprouting from around their bases. |
