Houghall Gardens World of Trees
The World of Trees has one of the best collections of trees in the north of England.

Apart from a few trees that were planted either side of the main drive, soon after the College was opened in 1938, Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ and one or two commemorative trees, such as the Coronation Oak, Quercus Robur, planted in 1953 by the Conference Hall, the main collection was planted between 1960 and 1973 by the former Head of Horticulture at the College, Jack Cox.
