Adnittedly I always knew that our Avenue would be pretty, but I had no idea how pretty. We have a long avenue with 180 year-old trees which turn out to be mainly a combination of beech, copper beech, elm and walnut. The colour is fabulous (and the leaves keep some of the bird crap off my car).

That sounds wonderful, care to share any photographs with the rest of us?
