Blackwater Arboretum

The Blackwater Arboretum has a variety of trees. There is a circular gravel path about 0.7 miles in length.  A shallow slope leads to the entrance gate after which the path is level.

Sculptures depicting seeds of various trees can be seen at various locations in the arboretum..

There is also a circular level gravel path (trail) through the The Tall Trees area of about 1.4 miles in length.

There is further information and many images on the https://thenewforest.co.uk and https://forestryengland.uk websites. A brook crosses the area and the Blackwater stream is a short distance from the carpark entrance.

The Blackwater car park has toilet facilities.
