Huge Horse Chestnut at North Lodge Park

This simply stunning 'conker' tree stands next to the bandstand and, especially at this time of year, overshadows it!

It is enormous!!

Giant Redwoods at South Park



In 1863 two Sequoiadendron giganteum were planted at South Park, Darlington, and now, over 140 years later, are quite magnificent!
Here's one of them, appearing to branch from the bottom so that from far off it appears as a clump.
