Spectacular autumn colour at beautiful Batsford Arboretum
Batsford Arboretum are gearing up for the annual blaze of autumn colour thanks to their magnificent collection of maples and cherries.
Home to one of the largest private collections of trees and shrubs in the country, the 56 acre arboretum is a treat not to be missed from mid-October to mid-November when the trees put on a show-stopping display of reds, golds and yellows.
Enjoy spectacular views through the top of the tree canopy to the stunning Cotswold scenery beyond, or meander along stream-lined paths while soaking up the amazing sights and smells of autumn.
Autumn is, of course, nature’s planting time too – perfect for establishing plants before the winter cold sets in, giving them a head start come the spring. The Plant Centre at Batsford offers visitors a huge choice of quality plants in a beautiful walled garden setting.
If the plants don’t tempt you – we’re sure the home baked lunches, cakes and afternoon teas at the Garden Terrace Café will! It’s also never too early to think about Christmas and we have a wide choice of great gift ideas in the Arboretum Gift Shop, with beautiful wooden gifts created by our very own woodturner Roger and a whole host of shabby chic gifts and furniture in the Applestore.
Batsford is open Monday-Saturday from 9am to 5pm, 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
Batsford Arboretum & Garden Centre, Batsford, Moreton-in-Marsh, Glos, GL56 9AD.
