About Arboretum Sensory Trail

The Blackwater Arboretum, a short walk from Blackwater car park houses a beautiful collection of trees from many countries. The sensory trail encourages people to use their senses to discover the many different smells,textures and sounds of these trees. The path is a fairly smooth gravelled surface with one very gentle slope and frequent resting places. Short level paths with seats and picnic tables make this a pleasant destination in any season.

By car: from Lyndhurst take the A35 towards Christchurch, two miles out from Lyndhurst turn left into the Rhinefield Drive. Blackwater car park is located on the left hand side, approximately half a mile along the Drive.
