    (sorry, can't post images...)
    the beautiful alley of trees, just past where the toilet building is. I haven't seen it myself, but a friend has posted before and after images on facebook. Heartbreaking to think these trees are gone. I'd love to know why :(

    Ah thats sad, they were the big ones alright iirc, dont think they were ash though so probably no ash dieback, could have been insurance or something telling them to get rid of them or some other invasive species.

    I knew they were cypress trees, sorry to learn they have been removed.
    I have not been to Coole park for a few years but those trees really made it a park worth visiting .

    They were all cut down/removed due to having some sort of disease.

    It's a shame to see them gone but if removing them protects the other trees then it has to be done.
