An Arboretum is a collection of trees, usually rare and exotic trees that would not normally be found growing in England. (Think of it like a 'zoo for trees'!)
Queenswood Arboretum
An Arboretum is a collection of trees, usually rare and exotic trees that would not normally be found growing in England. (Think of it like a 'zoo for trees'!)
Queenswood Arboretum is the middle of 67 acres of Queenswood Country Park sitting on the top of Dinmore Hill at the centre of the beautiful Herefordshire landscape. At Queenswood there is a collection of Californian Redwoods (which grow to over 100 metres tall in their native America), an avenue of 40 different species of Oak and the Autumn Garden where Japanese Maples display their spectacular coloured foliage in late October.
There are hundreds of other trees which have attractive blossom, foliage or berries which make the Arboretum well worth a visit at any time of the year!
