The croquet lawns with Cypress, Willow and Privet, Madingley Hall

July 18, 2008 12:00 am

Privet hedge, Weeping Willow and Cypress tree, Croquet lawns, Madingley Hall, Madingley, Cambridgeshire, England

There are some fantastic trees in Madingley Hall. My favourite was this Cypress tree, seen here from the lawns and behind what I presume is a privet hedge.
