Autumn

[Durbs]

Thinking of visiting an arboretum and wondered if anyone has been to one before.

I go to the Jodrell Bank arboretum a lot (good place for the kids to run around without getting mown down by lorries). Its cool, don't stick to the paths though, go 'sploring offroad and find the planets dotted around the woods.

Best time of year? All seasons really as they all have their own particular charms.

Yes. Westonbirt is lovely. Quite close to where I live so often go for family picknicks there.

Agree completely. Annual membership, our boys (and dog) love going out there. It's great to visit all year round but is especially good at the moment.
