Ancient Trees exhibition

Standing proud on the estate for centuries, Sizergh’s ancient trees can tell fascinating stories about the landscape.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The Sizergh estate hosts a collection of ancient trees, from 150-year-old birch trees to a 2,000-year-old yew tree.

Have you ever walked past a really big tree and wondered how old it is? Maybe you've sat and counted the rings inside a fallen tree, or walked past a gnarled trunk and wondered about its age. This exhibition will shine a light on these old favourites and the wildlife that calls them home. Find it in the Great Barn.
