West Lodge, Garnstone Castle, Weobley One of the last John Nash-designed buildings left on the estate. An avenue of huge Wellingtonia trees leads from the lodge to the site of the house, which was demolished in the mid 1950s.

Wellingtonias, Garnstone Park, Weobley The early Verdins were clearly very fond of Wellingtonia trees - they are all over the estate and in neighbouring Ledgemoor. This avenue led from the West Lodge to the castle, now long gone. What remains there is very private and has recently been fenced in. The original castle railings are still in place in various places, as are some of the main gates. The show piece gates have found their way to Toronto, I believe.

The Avenue An avenue of maturing trees line the track from Ledgemoor through the former park of Garnstone Castle on its way to Norton Canon, or for the fitter amongst us, up the hill to Burton Wood. The early Boxing Day morning mist shrouding Westhope has still to disperse and can be seen in the background.
