The Woodland Trust had two issues at their Tring Park site that they wished to resolve. Firstly, insufficient parking was leading to congestion of nearby streets. Secondly, the most popular entrance to the site was at one end of the historic lime avenue; the concentrated footfall from this was causing damaging compaction around the trees. To resolve these issues, FRLA designed a new car park and welcome area. Given the heritage status of the park, the car park needed to be unobtrusive and in keeping with the character of the area. Parking bays are separated by blocks of tree and shrub planting that will become a wooded area with parking groves. The curved arrangement funnels visitors, through a bespoke gate, to the new welcome area. This consists of a circular earthwork at the centre of which are seats and information boards. From here, visitors have a choice of paths. Splitting visitors onto different routes at this point distributes the footfall across a greater area of the avenue, reducing its impact.
It's great to see the garden FRLA designed for Boschendal generating good publicity for the client. A well designed landscape can not only improve the quality of the visitor experience but also raise the profile of an organisation.

Concept images developed as part of the master-planning FRLA undertook for a South African Winery. The aim was to design a garden that showcased the farm-to-plate ethos of the estate, its intrinsic links with the surrounding landscape and its heritage.

This bespoke gate was designed by FRLA @frla_ltd for the Woodland Trust's Tring Park @woodlandtrust site as part of a project to create a new car park and arrival space. The form takes inspiration from the wooded hillside that is a prominent feature in the landscape. Handspring-design @handspring_design have done a great job with the fabrication.
