Lime trees of Home Park
Alongside the Long Water of Hampton Court, an avenue of lime trees was planted in the 1660s by King Charles II as a gift to his new bride, Catherine of Braganza. A major conservation and restoration project to reinstate the historic vista of the Long Water Avenue was completed in May 2004 when HRH The Prince of Wales planted the last of 544 new lime trees that once again flank the central canal as Charles II would have known it.
