The newest development in Kew Garden is the Rhizotron and Xstrata Tree Top Walkway, an ethereal "bridge" that lets you meander, literally, through the tree tops. It is 59 feet high and a winding 220 yards long and floats over fifty mature trees, butterfly sanctuaries and around random birds such as tawny owls, woodpeckers, kestrels and parakeets (we saw a green one). Not to mention mosses and lichen, insects and bats at dusk.
Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, creators of the London Eye, it was a delicate construction job.
