Layout of new tree with new bench
Some friends and I are donating a new steel bench and new Field Maple to a rehabilitation centre in North Lancashire. Their garden is new, large and exposed. There are already flagged paths and initial shrub plantings, but no trees. We wanted to give a seat and tree for quiet contemplation. The maple was chosen as a robust tree with interesting colours thoughout the year. Sun passes all across the site. Any thoughts about where to position the bench and tree?

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'd guess as it's steel, you might want it in a slightly shadier spot though - bit warm if you had shorts on...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
