This series of six caches is linked to the theme of the changing landscapes of Shugborough Estate and the impact people have had on it. From one man's designed paradise to an estate encroached upon by transport links to a place of wildlife, conservation and NT scones, the estate has been changed and developed a great deal throughout the past 300 years.
There are over 200 oaks in the collection established by Lord Patrick Lichfield (1939-2005) in this arboretum, which was originally established in the eighteenth century. On one side the oaks are entirely from Europe, while on the other there is a mix from America and Asia.
