Trees of Significance on English Heritage Sites

English Heritage is responsible for the management of over 35 000 individual trees and approximately 160 hectares of woodland. They range from individual or groups of trees on ancient monuments to designed historic landscapes with over 5000 trees.

Some have survived for hundreds of years to become akin to living monuments, outliving changes in fashion or economics. At Boscobel or Stott Park Bobbin Mill for instance they have a close historical association with the fortunes and industry of the properties themselves.

Other individuals are of botanical importance sent over by the great plant hunters, or are magnificent champions for their height and girth.
