Wimpole Hall Avenue, Cambridgeshire

Acquisition of land to enable the reinstatement of a spectacular 3500 metre avenue of trees. The Avenue is part of Wimpole Estate and much of the parkland is grade 1 listed. The Avenue was commissioned by Lord Harley (Wimpole 1710-1740) using Charles Bridgman as his landscape designer. The trees planted were limes, replacing the earlier elms which had all died.
