Monumental trees in Cowdray Park in Midhurst

Here 3 trees are described in Cowdray Park in Midhurst (county of West Sussex).

Cowdray is a vast area that was a deer kamp during medieval times, and a lot of large, ancient trees can be found there. Concerning the many trees in Cowdray Park, the native trees that have been growing there for centuries are without doubt the most impressive.

Many old oaks and a few huge Sweet Chestnut trees are growing in Cowdray Park, like the Queen Elisabeth Oak and the "Cowdray Colossos" Sweet Chestnut.
