Brueton Tree Trail

Brueton Tree Trail

Trees are a major feature of our landscape. They are far more than just 'nice to look at', they clean our air, produce the oxygen we need to breathe, absorb noise and provide homes for thousands of different animals and plant.

Brueton Tree Trail

Trees are a major feature of our landscape. They are far more than just "nice to look at", they clean our air, produce the oxygen we need to breathe, absorb noise and provide homes for thousands of different animals and plant.

Brueton Park offers the ideal location to study trees, with both native and ornamental species growing side by side. We cannot attempt to describe all of the species present, but do cover some of the more unusual species as well as some of the common ones. Even some of the trees we see in the countryside and take for granted such as Oak and Ash cannot be dismissed in the Park.

There are several "species" of Oak including English, Turkey, Scarlet and Chestnut-leafed, to name but a few. Meanwhile there is only one species of Ash, but there are several "cultivars" of this species. These include Golden, Single-leafed and weeping Ash.

There are many conifers within the collection and these include species such as Scots Pine, Bald Cypress and Giant Redwood.
