Arley Arboretum & Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Arley Aboretum, originally planned by the forward-thinking Earl Mountnorris around 1800, is now considered to be one of the country's finest tree collections. The site had become neglected by 1959 but happily Midland’s industrialist Roger Turner purchased and restored both the arboretum and the Grade II-listed walled gardens. Today, the Italian Gardens attracts many visitors especially couples as a setting for their wedding. In spring, visit to see the stunning displays of magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas, and in autumn, Arley’s acer collection is truly spectacular. There’s plenty for the little ones to do too – a maze, play ground and trails.

About the area
Worcestershire is a county of rolling hills, save for the flat Vale of Evesham in the east and the prominent spine of the Malverns in the west. Nearly all of the land is worked in some way; arable farming predominates – oilseed rape, cereals and potatoes – but there are concentrated areas of specific land uses, such as market gardening and plum growing.
