Bodenham Arboretum

Bodenham Arboretum is situated away from traffic noise. Its 170 acres contain mature woodland, specimen trees and shrubs; over 3000 species in total, which include important collections such as Acers, North American Oaks and Alders, and two chains of pools and lakes, integrated within a working farm.

The plantings and water, combined, cover 54 acres where visitors can explore over 5 miles of wonderful walks through a patchwork quilt of pools, plantations, dells and glades which provide habitats for flora, fauna, insect life and numerous species of resident and migrating birds..
