The Shrubbery
Our woodland, known as 'The Shrubbery', is well worth a visit. It was established over 200 years ago by the Silvertop family and extends over 14 acres. It was a favourite place for the family, both for adults and children, with carriage drives and places to play and picnic. In its present form it is largely an arboretum containing several rare mature conifers and deciduous trees, hybrid and ponticum rhododendrons, laurel and holly. The shrubbery fell into decline in the twentieth century and the process of bringing it back into full usage has only recently begun. With the help of BTCV North East and their wonderful volunteers this process has been accelerated as we develop a long-term partnership with them.
