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.

    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.
