Self Guide Trails
 

There are many ways to enjoy our Collection - whether you're wanting a stroll, having a picnic out with the children or looking to discover what's looking good. To help you choose what you would like to do during your visit, we have developed a number of interpretative trails and leaflets and these are briefly highlighted below.

Each season, we prepare two special trails (one in the Old Arboretum and one in Silk Wood) which provide visitors the chance to explore our beautiful surroundings. These are available in our Seasonal Guide leaflet and can be found at The Great Oak Hall on site. You can also download a seasonal audio trail that accompanies one of the seasonal trails.
