View down the Ticknall lime avenue, planted to celebrate the birth of the last baronet, Sir Vauncey Harpur Crewe in 1846, at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, with trees either side lit by late afternoon. "Calke is possibly the National Trust's best property to see ancient trees, as they can be found across the parkland. This is the only known Trust property that has two oak trees which are one thousand years old and also a lime tree that is slowly making its way across the landscape as the branches make contact with the ground"
