Capesthorne Hall

[SJH]

Went to a craft fair today at Capesthorne Hall with the family, had a wander around the gardens there and into the woods some great trees in there some big Oaks and some knarly Yews, this one caught my eye though a very nice BIG sweet chestnut the pics dont really do it justice (camera phone) it is huge, about 7 or 8ft across at the base, not sure how old it is but the gardens were laid out in the 17th and 18th century.

There is some really nice trees in the gardens and woodlands, I really need to go back with my better camera and spend some time on some photos.
