Replanting Langdon’s Landscape Park

Although the precise date when the landscape park at Langdon was laid out is unknown, it was certainly flourishing by the mid-19th century. By 2006, however, many of the original trees were showing serious signs of decay. These pictures illustrate the park’s development and decline, as well as a replanting project undertaken by local organisations in 2007.

The set as a whole is designed to complement our publication Replanting Langdon’s Landscape Park. This provides considerably more detail and is downloadable from our publications page.
