About

For trees, spring is about unfurling leaves and blossoms, but beyond that, Forestry England's Westonbirt, The National Arboretum is also home to an abundance of wildlife and is bustling with life!

This season, a new family trail takes you on a journey to discover what the best kept secrets are at Westonbirt! Try some of the activities at each spot - see if you can spot the changing colours of the horse chestnut flowers, learn about the hidden creatures living in moss, or create a zippy darting bee dance.

Find a rubbing plaque at each trail spot and collect the hidden image in your leaflet! Your leaflet also comes with a trail map.

Collect your leaflet from the Welcome Building before you head onto the trail.

Located in dog-friendly Silk Wood on hard surface paths suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams & buggies.Trail Length: Approx 1 mile.
