Cheltenham's Copper Beech


You can see that this majestic Copper Beech is fenced off - or as befits the Spa town of Cheltenham - is actually enclosed by wrought iron. The Beech was planted when the park was first opened and I think it's two hundred years old. Sadly though, you can see the huge fungus that is infecting it and as such, it has had to be cordoned off and is in the process of being slowly treated in order to save the tree.
