Planted with vision great treescapes

[Les Cork]

Last week during the trip to Porc we struck up a conversation about great trees and treescapes.

Many of these were planted by people who's vision we now enjoy but who never got to see their own creation after the early stages.

So to start a thread show some great treescapes

 

Here's Kingston Lacey Beech avenue nr Wimborne in Dorset

731 trees were planted in 1835, some have recently had to be felled to prevent disease from spreading, anyone know who the creator was ?

Apparently there is a painting in Petworth House by J.M.W.Turner that depicts a group of young Oaks, its placed by the window it was painted from and some of the Oaks can still be seen.

 

The landscaping of the estate was the work of Capability Brown, Now there was a man with vision

I love that avenue! I found this snippet on a BBC news website BBC - Dorset - Nature - Beech Avenue

Alot of those trees are infected with Kretz and about 20 had Dryad's Saddle growing from old cuts. They (national Trust) generally only fell 2 or 3 a year the rest are just tickled up here and there.
