Beddington Park and Trees

Weeping Willow over the Mill Pond
Giant Redwood by the Grange
London Plane by the Meadow
Yew Trees in the Church 
Pines at Carew Manor

A break in the weather meant an excuse to have a walk round the Park with Gillian to look at the autumn trees. A real good tree selection including in addition to the above Swamp Cypress, Dawn Redwood, Liquidamber, Caucasian Wing-nut, Indian Bean, Mullberry and quite a few more.
When Beddington Farmlands finally opens as a public nature and country park it will be a contiguous public space with Beddington Park. We walked back through the farmlands along the permitted path- saw a male Wigeon on the North Lake.

You probably knew this already but, apparently, it's National Tree Week:
