No, they're not in wonky...

The weather hasn't blown them over; your eyes don't need adjusting!

The new Douglas fir timber posts going in around the site are part of our new signage suite and are meant to be set at this angle; in fact they've all been set at precisely 18 degrees, give or take half a degree or so, to reflect the way the main rides in the Old Arboretum radiate out from Westonbirt House (as designed by the Holford family).

The first stage has been to set them in the ground ready for beautiful greeny-blue panels, which will be attached in the next few weeks. You can see a prototype of this finish outside the Propagation Unit at Keeper's Cottage.

These signs are part of phase one of our new signage plan, which we will be rolling out across the site over the next few years. We plan to start phase two, which will include Downs / main facility signage and some of the major way markers in the new year.
