In the 1840s three rows of elm trees (Ulmus glabra), two along the top terrace and one at the top of the middle embankment, were planted. This elm is thought to be one of only three remaining elm trees from this time. Most of the old elms were replaced with limes between 1989-92, following losses to Dutch Elm Disease.
