Old Windsor - Beaumont House (Berkshire) |

  |
| There are a total of five Giant Redwoods in the grounds of Beaumont House Conference Centre in Burfield Road. The top photograph shows the tree that is at the original, grand entrance to the property and appears to be kept fairly tidy, if a little overcrowded. The second picture shows the other four trees in a very sad state of neglect, sitting at the current main entrance to the property now that it has become a conference centre. The undergrowth has been allowed to spread with little control beneath the Redwood trees. It serves as an example of how neglect can change what could be a majestic entrance into a mediocre piece of wooded land. Still, at least it is green! |
