Things to Do

The fascinating yet tranquil Yew Tree Avenue at Clipsham is over 200 years old, consisting of over 150 clipped Yew Trees in all manner of unusual shapes. 

Some of the more unusual topiaries include a man on the moon and a range of animal characters.  The topiary was begun in 1870 by the Clipsham Estate Head Forester, and soon became a tradition which continued through the years. 

Once better known as being the carriage drive to Clipsham Hall, the Avenue, which costs nothing to spend time in, is now a pleasnt place to sit and perhaps enjoy a picnic in the summer.
