Blickling Hall Estate Barn Blickling Road Blickling NR11 6NF
1. Sycamore (at 33 Silvergate) - fell because of excessive included bark in the main stem, weight largely towards the property and overhanging garden shed. 2. Sycamore (at 70/71 Ingworth) - fell because of included bark and evidence of large pocket of rot in and around the main union, also heavily leaning over garden outbuilding. 3. Oak (at 64 Woodgate) - fell because of potential risk to residents caused by sudden branch drop pertaining to brown cubical rot in the main stem and branches; crown dying back excessively. 4. Sycamore (above School Lane near Main Car Park) - Almost complete crown dieback over the past 12 months, little or no leaf cover this summer; mainly crown overhangs main visitor route from the hall and park. 5. Horse chestnut (Dell corner of Lake Walk) - fell because of major dysfunction in the main stem and crown failure, and overextended limbs over a permissive footpath.
