St Roche's Arboretum A track in St Roche's Arboretum on the West Dean estate. The arboretum was started in the 1830s by the then owner of the estate, Sir James Peachey, 1st Lord Selsey, and developed further by Edward James in the 20th Century. It suffered badly in the 1987 October storm, but a side benefit was that it enabled some of the previous overcrowding to be reduced.
