Great for families
This is a great place for long walks with the family. The steep climbs mean it is not recommended for bikes.
The trees are lovely and the cafe serves a lovely lunch.
What to wear?
Outdoor clothing and sensible footwear appropriate for the weather. Ski suits are really good for children when taking part in autumn and winter outdoor activities as they keep the child snug and offer brilliant protection when splashing in puddles :) We have ones similar to this.
There are so many trees in the Arboretum, why not make a little educational trip. get your little ones a book or worksheet and help them identify the trees you find.
The open areas lend themselves to a bit of bird watching. This kit contains everything you need to take your family bird watching, including bird identifcation cards and binoculars.
There are also some lovely nature trails. Allowing your little ones to go bug hunting under logs and in the leaves.
