Historic tree tour at Osborne House

By Caroline King - January 22, 2012Posted in : Heritage, Walks

When: 8th February 2012, 11am – 2pm

Where: Osborne House, Isle of Wight

£: Adults 35 & English Heritage members 30

What is it?

Join Osborne’s head gardener for a wander through the grounds and wider estate admiring the wealth of beautiful trees.  Many were very early introductions to this country, many are too tender to be grown far from the South coast but most were planted as gifts to the Royal Family or as commemorative trees to mark specific family or State occasions.  Lunch will be provided but booking is essential.
