Summary
Fredville Park has wood and parkland of 100 hectares (247 acres), featuring many 'ancient' trees including a Majesty Oak listed in the Guinness Book of records as the largest maiden Oak tree in the United Kingdom. The site also includes a 2 acre 18th century walled garden, although the associated house was demolished in 1945. The walled garden is now used for Pheasant rearing.
The original farmhouse called ‘Fredville’ was enlarged into a comfortable Adam style two storey house in 1750 by the Plumptre family.
