Stag-headed Quercus robur in Church Field Silwood Park

As the tree ages, there comes a point when the canopy starts to contract each year leaving the resilient but now dead limbs behind.

Ascot High Street

The high street in Ascot on race day - a place to avoid if you aren't heading to the races yourself, viewed from the petrol station. Lots of illegal parking and thousands of cars flocking everywhere.

Jim Osley

Royal Berkshire Hotel

Once owned by the Spencer Family (Winston Spencer Churchill) the building was later used as a School for the blind and since the early 1970's has been a hotel. An ideal billet for the Ascot races or Sunningdale Golf.

Walled Garden for The Oaks

The Oaks was the name of Charles Churchill's 1705 mansion. Now the SU9468 : Royal Berkshire Hotel

Gates to a Walled Garden

These days more a walled lawn than a garden. You can see a recreation of what the eighteenth century gardens may have looked like at SU9468 : Walled Garden for The Oaks

Sadly Not Longer a Fish Pond

I am fairly sure a combination of Herons and a bloom of blue green algae have put paid to any fish that lived in the pond of the SU9468 : Royal Berkshire Hotel.
