Hatherop Castle

The yew tree walk exists today and trees of considerable age still stand on the bank. The yews are as seen in the photographs taken by Anthea Jones of the Gloucestershire Gardens and Landscape Trust. It is hoped that there will be an opportunity to record them in greater detail in the future. In 1906 Elwes and Henry noted ‘a remarkably fine yew walk at Hatherop Castle, Gloucestershire, the seat of G. Bazley, Esq., which is supposed to be about 300 years old, in which the trees average about 60 feet in height with a girth of 9 to 12 feet.’
