Westonbirt Arboretum consists of three main areas. The Old Arboretum (a dog free area) is a carefully designed landscape dating from the 1850s offering beautiful vistas, stately avenues and trees from around the world.
Silk Wood is an ancient, semi-natural woodland which has exotic plantings throughout its landscape, whilst the Grade I registered
Downs hosts species-rich grassland and is a great picnicking location. There is something for the whole family - as well as all the self-guided trails there are different play zones hidden in amongst the trees of the Old Arboretum and Silk Wood designed with children aged 5-11 years in mind.
