Westonbirt, The National Arboretum

是十月底去的,當時在園內已感到寒意,幸好帶備頸巾,否則凍僵。有朋友說她去年是十一月中才遊覽,但因為下雨,所以當時她沒看到很多紅葉,而且很多都比較殘,所以遊覽日子要好好把握。

我們當天大約早上十點便到達,已有不少車位已用,遊人很多,門票也一早售罄。在停車場內不少遊人先換上水鞋或長靴才進園,幸好我亦穿了防水鞋,原來園內部分地方非常muddy。

今年看時部份葉已轉紅,很多長很高的古樹,也有很多稀有品種,大開眼界,非常值得一去。

From Wiki:

“Westonbirt Arboretum comprises some 15,000 trees and shrubs, with 2,500 species of tree from all over the world, covering an area of approximately 600 acres (240 ha). Its 17 miles (27 km) of marked paths are popular with visitors, and provide access to a wide variety of rare plants.
There are two main areas to explore.
The Old Arboretum is a carefully designed landscape offering beautiful vistas, stately avenues, and a host of rare and exotic trees from across the globe dating back to the 1850s.
Silk Wood is a very different experience: although it also contains many exotic plantings, at its heart is a traditional working woodland, dating back to the 13th century.”
