Summer walks at Winkworth Arboretum

Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey

Make the most of the warm days with a walk through the fascinating woodland of Winkworth. 121 acres of exotic shrubs, trees and flowering herbaceous plants await.

Nestled on a hillside in the heart of the Surrey Hills AONB, Winkworth's wild woodland is the perfect place to explore on a summertime walk. With a mixture of level walkways and challenging hills, there's a route for everyone; dogs on leads are welcome, and a disabled car park at the bottom of the Arboretum provides access to the meadow and lakeside walk.

If you're looking for some exercise, avoid the dull repetition of the treadmill, fill your lungs with fresh air and enjoy the sights of the Arboretum as you walk or jog. Take a break at the boathouse for a stunning view of the lake as the trees shimmer in the clear water.

When you've finished your walk, pop into the tea-room near the kiosk for a refreshing drink and a slice of cake, baked fresh daily. Indulge guilt-free, knowing every bite helps us preserve and protect Winkworth's historic landscape for years to come.

Natural play area 

In amongst the trees hides a secret place where the Winkworth gnomes have carved out stairways and hidey-holes into trees. It's yours to explore - how quickly can you swing across the walkway?
