Sunday 29th October 2023.
We are still limited in our ability to get away in the motorhome as much as we would like so today we had a quick trip in the car to the above arboretum next to the River Severn.
The arboretum is divided up into areas some more formal than others.
The gardens overlook the River Severn and on the opposite bank is Arley station one of the stops on the Severn Valley Railway.
The arboretum has over 300 species of trees, magnolias, camellias and acers.There are enormous pines, giant redwoods, monkey puzzles, huge oaks, beeches, walnuts lime trees amongst others.
On the extreme edge of the arboretum is a children’s play area and next to it is the home of the little people of the woods.
We finished our visit to the cafe for a well earned coffee and scone which we shared with a friendly Robin.
