A former laneway for the big house close by, the avenue was planted a few centuries ago now and unfortunately the trees are at the end of their natural lifespan, each winter storm brings more branches and, often, trees crashing to the ground.
Once they're gone, they're gone. Unless you have a century or so for replacement trees to grow to height and the branches to twist and intertwine like those of the famous Dark Hedges.
See more from my previous visits to the Dark Hedges here and here.
