Brandon - Brandon Country Park (Suffolk)

Six Giant and five Coast Redwood are to be found in Brandon Country Park. Brandon Park Estate was bought by Edward Bliss in 1820 and he transformed the then heathland into a magnificent parkland. Brandon was a major manufacturer of gunflint and at the end of the Napoleonic wars, many people became unemployed. Bliss employed some of these men to transform the estate and eight million trees were planted in six months. After creating windbreak lines of Scots Pine and European Larch, more unusual trees such as Giant Redwood were planted.
