Captured in the grounds of Girton College. Not a place I used when I was living on the edge of Girton as a child, but a place which BH used for walking small children when we were there for a bit in the 1980s. A ladies college, a blue stocking place, when I was a child, but at some point they let men in and now you can see all kinds of people wandering about.
No.129 was a few yards off the circular path and I thought better of pushing my way through to full contact, preferable though that might have been.
A bit further on, a bit nearer the front door, I got a bit nearer to No.130.
Not a particularly good specimen - it might be a bit dry in this part of town for a tree of this size - but undoubtedly a Wellingtonia, with the distinctive scale leaves. A sort of cross between the bundles of needles of a Scots pine and the fractal-like scale leaves of a leylandii?
