Dist:0.1km<br/>Much of the land near the house is planted as park land with single and grouped trees. In this group of trees the horse chestnut is turning brown – in part because autumn is nearly here – but possibly a week or so early because of blight. Note the horizontal bottom of the tree foliage. The cattle provide an explanation of the cause. Any lower foliage would provide a tasty meal for a passing cow or horse in the spring.
