The idea of the cathedral came from a soldier in the First World War who wanted to remember his fallen comrades. Mr Blyth worked on the project as long as he could and then his son finished it.
All sorts of species of tree and shrub are laid out in the pattern of a Medieval cathedral to form a living memorial to those who were killed.
In this year of the 100th anniversary of the ending of that war it is quite something to go there, remember all those young men and then look at the memorial which will take around another 100 years to reach it's full potential.
Trees are truly marvellous and what a great free place to visit !
