Winkworth Arboretum and its collection

Winkworth Arboretum
Source

Winkworth is most famous for its autumn colour. Boldly arranged masses of mountain ashes, whitebeam and maples bring splashes of russet and gold to the valley landscape. But the Winter Garden, the magnolias, cherries, azaleas, bluebells and summer-flowering shrubs ensure a continuity of colour and interest throughout the year. Winkworth boasts two lakes and a boat-house; a hillside woodland; a collection containing over 1,000 different shrubs and trees - many of which are rare; and wildlife in abundance.

    Winkworth Arboretum, located in Godalming, England, is a beautiful woodland garden that offers visitors a serene escape into nature. The arboretum is known for its diverse collection of trees and shrubs, which provide stunning displays of color throughout the seasons.

    Visitors often praise the well-maintained walking trails that wind through the arboretum, allowing for easy exploration of the 100-acre site. The autumn colors are particularly celebrated, with many noting the breathtaking views across the lake when the trees are ablaze with reds, oranges, and golds. Spring is another popular time, with azaleas and bluebells creating carpets of color.

    The arboretum also features a boathouse and several viewpoints that offer picturesque vistas of the surrounding Surrey Hills. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to observe wildlife, including various bird species.

    While generally well-received, some visitors mention that the facilities are basic. The tea room, when open, receives mixed reviews, with some finding it charming and others wishing for more options. A few visitors have noted that signage could be improved to help with navigation and plant identification.

    Accessibility can be a concern for some, as parts of the arboretum involve steep slopes and uneven terrain, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues. However, there are some level paths near the entrance that are more accessible.

    Overall, Winkworth Arboretum is appreciated for its natural beauty, seasonal interest, and tranquil environment. It's a popular destination for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a peaceful day out in the countryside.
