The is a good place to escape the noise and pollution of the busy road and has some interesting trees. In one of the Black pines is a honey bee nest and there is a Mistletoe infection in one of the many Lime trees. The Exeter Wild City patch attracts many insects and adds lots of colour in the summer time. There are Scots and Black pine which have different cones and bark. The Cedar of Lebanon provides a lot of cover and the Common beech is a good sized tree. The Lucombe oak is the star of the show so to speak and when you see the bark, you can see how it is a natural cross of it's cousin the Cork oak. The next time you walk up (or down) Cowick street have a walk through here instead and enjoy the peace and calm that our trees and shrubs generously give.
