Winkworth Arboretum
About
Winkworth Arboretum is a National Trust‑owned landscape garden nestled in the Surrey Hills, offering a serene escape with over 1,000 species of trees, spectacular azaleas, rhododendrons and a tranquil lake. The arboretum’s design, begun in the 1930s by Dr Wilfrid Fox, showcases a stunning collection of deciduous and coniferous trees that change colour with the seasons, making it a year‑round destination for nature lovers. A charming boathouse adds a lakeside amenity, while a tea‑room serves light lunches and refreshments. Visitors can explore the forested paths, attend free guided walks, and enjoy the Tree Adventure play area, a wooden climbing and obstacle course for families. The site is fully accessible to visitors with mobility aids, featuring designated parking, adapted toilets and a wheelchair‑friendly path. Whether you’re a dog owner, a garden enthusiast or a history buff, Winkworth offers a peaceful retreat that blends natural beauty with thoughtful visitor facilities.
