Beech Avenue

The were originally 731 Beech trees planted when the avenue at Kingston lacy was planted in 1835 to line the new turnpike created by wealthy landowner William Bankes. There were 365 trees, a tree for every day of a normal year, on one side and one extra, 366, on the other side to represent leap years. Nice.
