A few weeks ago we visited Kew Gardens and I had my first experience of the new treetop walk. It was a cold, misty day and I took this photograph of Sir William Chambers' pagoda - a high view it would have been impossible to see before without climbing up one of the trees. Horace Walpole watched it being constructed in 1761 and wrote 'we begin to perceive the tower of Kew from Montpelier Road; in a fortnight you will be able to see it in Yorkshire.'
