June 14th saw the working party continue clearing at the Circle; formerly the central focus of the whole parkland. Last month we raised the tree canopy so that views of Kings Weston House were again revealed, and this month we returned to open up the central area where brambles and undergrowth threatened to engulf the whole space. Once again it feels more open and views between the main avenues and paths are again possible. We are approaching the Council estates department to ensure that all our achievements this year are consolidated and a regular maintenance strategy implemented.
- Looking out from the back of the Circle before and after clearance. The view here looks towards the Shirehampton Road public car park
- KWAG volunteers get to work at the start of the event. A before and after view looking from the main avenue back into the Circle and towards the avenue to Penpol
- Looking from the Cedar at the end of the avenue to Penpole towards the house and the ancient lime avenue beyond the Circle
- Before and after of the clearance of undergrowth back as far as the wall of laurel, making the Circle a bit more circular once more
