Visit us through the seasons

Spring and summer

The bluebells come out at Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey
  • Spring: Cheerful blossoms brighten the landscape, with bluebells, magnolias, azaleas, and rhododendrons.
  • Summer: Lush greens and leafy groves provide the perfect backdrop for family adventures.

Autumn

A spectacular autumn display at Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey

As autumn descends, a magical transformation occurs. The lush greens of the arboretum disappear, but instead of the trees quietly drifting off into a wintry sleep, they blaze into glorious colour. You'll see what Dr Wilfrid Fox really meant when he talked about painting with trees.

Winter

Snow falls at Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey

Brilliant berries and hollies stand out against frosted tree skeletons.
