Arley Arboretum is one of the oldest Arboretums in Great
Britain. Tucked away in the beautiful countryside of the Worcestershire
and Shropshire borders near Bewdley, it boasts more than 300 species
of trees in formal and informal plantings and gardens. The collection
includes many rare and spectacular domestic and exotic trees. Nestling
in the Severn Valley and overlooking the river, it has been growing
and maturing in this idyllic setting for two centuries.
And now it is open to the public for the first time!
In summer the arboretum is beautiful and peaceful. Walk through
the dapple shade amidst the hum of insects. Admire the mature canopy
of trees rising high into the summer sky. Enjoy the unusual and
colourful range of summer-flowering plants and shrubs. Sit and relax
by the pools in the formal splendour of the
Italian Garden, or look through the trees to the stunning views
across the Severn and this very special part of the country.
A visit to the arboretum in summer can be very special!
