Best in autumn: the dawn redwood is deciduous, and its foliage turns a foxy copper-red before falling — often the finest time to visit.

About this place

Among its trees are Victorian-era giant sequoias — some surviving from the earlier Mitford ownership — alongside coast redwood and dawn redwood. Entry is ticketed.
