Wellingtonia Avenue is a road in Finchampstead, Berkshire, UK. The road is lined with over one hundred giant sequoia trees, known at the time of planting as Wellingtonia. The trees were planted in the early 1860s (most sources report around 1863 and 1865, though other sources state the planting began as early as 1859 or 1861 or as late as 1869 as a memorial to the Duke of Wellington, who had lived in the nearby Stratfield Saye estate. The two rows of trees forming the avenue are spaced 23 metres (75 ft) apart, with trees in each row separated by 16 metres (52 ft)The total length of the avenue is approximately 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi).
