Our previous visits to this 100 acre Arboretum have mostly been in the Autumn. In the Spring we should expect to see trees in blossom, bluebells and other Spring flowers in the woodland. The Arboretum has about 2000 different taxa of plants, including four National Plant Collections:- Lime, Walnut, Ash and Laburnum, as well as the Milbank Pinetum. The Bird of Prey Centre, at the far end of the Arboretum is worth a visit with flying displays at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm. There is an excellent visitor centre and tearoom near the entrance, as well as plant sales.
The admission price for pre-booked groups of 10+ is £7.00 for Adults (no concessions) RHS Free Membership does not apply to group visits. Pay on the day - you must bring correct cash as the Leader has to pay for all visitors.
