For the past seven years, Climbers Way Tree Care has worked closely with Winchester Cathedral to ensure its trees remain safe, healthy, and well-managed. As one of the UK’s most historic sites, the cathedral grounds contain many veteran trees that require ongoing care and attention.
Supporting Winchester’s Annual Christmas Market
Winchester’s Christmas Market is ranked among the top 10 in the UK, attracting thousands of visitors each year. With large crowds gathering around the cathedral grounds, tree safety is a top priority. Our work helps ensure that all trees are stable and secure, allowing the event to take place without unnecessary risk.
Our key services for Winchester Cathedral include:
- Routine tree inspections to identify and mitigate potential risks
- Aerial inspections of veteran and high-risk trees
- Pruning and maintenance to prevent structural failure
- Specialist care for historic and veteran trees
Aerial Inspections for Ancient London Plane Trees
The cathedral grounds are home to numerous veteran trees, some of which require advanced arboricultural techniques to assess their health and stability. Recently, we conducted two aerial inspections on towering 27-meter-high London Plane trees, each over 200 years old. These inspections allow us to detect potential structural weaknesses and take action before problems arise.
Aerial inspections help to:
- Assess tree stability at height
- Identify decay, cracks, or disease in the upper canopy
- Determine necessary remedial work to prolong tree health
