As well as improving safety for passers by on the road this treatment helps preserve the life of the tree. Already 300 to 400 years old, given the absence of lightning strikes, road widening, etc. it could last another 400 or 500 years. Brimsdown Hill is in the background, the road continues to Kingston Deverill.
