Westonbirt - The National Arboretum is a magical tree garden, with some of the oldest, rarest and biggest trees in the world. Set in a 600-acre historic landscape there are 16,000 trees and shrubs and 17 miles of easily accessible paths. It's the perfect place to relax and recharge and to get back to nature.

Westonbirt is world-famous for its stunning autumn colours and is equally colourful in spring, when rhododendrons and bluebells come into their own. There are events throughout the year - from hugely popular summer concerts to the Festival of the Tree and Enchanted Christmas illuminated trail.

You can also visit Maples Restaurant or the Courtyard Cafe, the Forest Shop and specialist Plant Centre.
