Just east of the historic Selby House, now home to the Selby House Cafe, are several banyan trees, some of which were planted by the Selbys nearly a century ago. Their spectacular aerial roots, which grow downward and eventually serve as secondary trunks, allow the trees to spread out laterally and cover vast areas. For centuries, banyans have been used as shaded meeting places where people can converse or relax together, a tradition carried on daily by Selby visitors.
