About this place

Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.

Tortworth Court is a Victorian estate near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, now a hotel, whose grounds retain part of a historic arboretum begun by the 3rd Earl of Ducie from 1853. Among the surviving conifers are coast redwoods, one standing around 33 metres tall above the surrounding woodland. The hotel grounds are private; the trees are best appreciated from the public footpath that crosses the estate.
