1) Giant Redwood (Wellingtonia), at Allerburn House: It’s big. It’s soft, so if you are still a child, you can punch it. Allerburn House was built 1862 so it would be planted not far after that. It looks great.
2) Barter Books: Such a fine specimen in a prime location relative to the War Memorial, Flagpole and Barter Books / Station building.
3) South end of Bondgate Without: Forms an important terminal element marking where the continuous street frontage is first broken as one emerges through the Hotspur Tower and leaves the town southwards.
4) Column Field: A fine specimen in a prime location relative to the War Memorial, Flagpole and Barter Books / Station building. It sits well with the memorial (man and nature) and also completes a magnificent entrance to the town from Denwick bridge.
5) Allerburn Lee: This comes out before the others and really stands out for a few weeks before others catch up.
6) Hope House: It’s magnificent, and perfectly frames a key conservation area.
7) Hulne Park Yellow Walk: The interplay of light.and dark, sun and shadow and the vertical trunks and the hint of green moorland beyond.
8) Hulne Park: Of all the trees you see as you enter Hulne Park this one makes the most powerful statement of what is to come.
9) Clayport Bank: The first tree we see on arriving in Alnwick from the Moor
10) Barbican: a good example of ensuring that a tree is replaced when it become necessary.
