This magnificent Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) is Tree 14 on the Oakmere and Parkfield Tree Trail http://beta.hertsmere.gov.uk/Documents/08-Parks--Leisure/Parks--Open-Spaces/Park-facilities/Potters-Bar/Parkfield--Oakmere-Tree-Trail-leaflet.pdf (a rather low quality pdf leaflet for the trail). A representation of this species of tree is to be found on the flag of Lebabon, and a revolution that occurred in that country in 2005 was known as the "Cedar Revolution" Cedars do have a rather alarming reputation for shedding branches unexpectedly - and as these may weigh a couple of tons it's best not to be too near when this happens !
