Not many people seem to use the path at the back of the small arboretum at #Royden, possibly due to the large number of molehills in front of it. The tree is a madrona/arbutus apparently. First conkers spotted by Benty’s!

A tall, leafy tree with a thick trunk stands in a lush, green grassy area surrounded by other trees. A woodland path is adorned with vibrant purple flowers forming an archway of blooming branches. A dirt path in a forest is lined with branches and scattered with purple flowers, leading under a large tree adorned with vibrant purple blossoms. A branch with green leaves and a few small, spiky seed pods is set against a background of dense foliage.
