Autumn colour is on the way and as summer fades, the arboretum will start its transformation from verdant green to a vibrant kaleidoscope of colour that see visitors flocking to enjoy the painted landscape.

Winkworth Arboretum was created over 80 years ago as a glorious celebration of trees. It was the creation of local physician and horticulturalist Dr Wilfrid Fox in the 1930s and has been in the complete care of the National Trust since 1988. The construction of the new visitor centre here is delayed but we're working behind the scenes to get it moving again. It is now expected to open in 2025.
Winkworth Arboretum is a three pawprint rated place. Well-behaved dogs and their owners are welcome to explore Winkworth at any time of year. Find out more about bringing your four-legged friend with you when you visit.
