Description
The English Heritage survey of Stowe undertaken in 2001 notes numerous small circular hollows on each side of the track leading from Dadford to Home Farm. These are the remains of an avenue of trees planted between 1843 and 1880. Several similar hollows lie across the field just to the north of the track and represent the remains of trees planted in the early 19th century, depicted on the 1843 estate plan but not on the OS map of 1814 (20).
