Know Before You Go
- Tickets: $$ – Get tickets
- Parking: Ample, free parking, including several spaces for Blue Badge holders.
- Accessibility: A large proportion of the Arboretum has gravelled pathways which are generally suitable for pushchairs. However, you are within a natural landscaped area and in parts some pathways may be rough / hard and in wet weather certain routes may get muddy. The Arboretum is a ‘natural visitor attraction’ and the terrain / pathways may prove challenging at certain points, especially for small wheeled wheelchairs. Concessions are available for wheelchair users and their carers.
- Pets: Dogs are welcome in the arboretum as long as they are on a short lead at all times. Please clean up after your dog and place in any of the litter bins around the site.
