Explore over 130 acres of the world’s rare and endangered trees, with some of the oldest redwoods in the UK. Seasonal highlights include wildflower meadows, rhododendrons and bluebell woods.
When you arrive, take a moment to stay quiet and still, and watch our bird feeder next to the ticket office. Here you may catch a glimpse of great tits, blue tits, coal tits, woodpeckers, nuthatches and chaffinches. The loudest birds here are our resident peacocks, which call to impress the peahens, whilst displaying their prominent fan-like tail. You may also hear the shrill cry of the red kites that glide overhead.
A seasonal coffee cart is open at weekends (Easter-Autumn) selling ethical, sustainable, and locally roasted coffee, and there is a shop on site selling woodland-inspired gifts and games for children.
