Get together with family and friends and enjoy an invigorating walk around Winkworth Arboretum. With its flourishing Winter Garden and twisting Holly Walk, this internationally significant landscape is a wonderful place for a stroll in the winter.
Routes for everyone
Nestled on a hillside in the heart of Surrey, Winkworth's wintry woodland is the perfect spot for a quiet walk in the crisp, clean air. 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.

Take in the fragile beauty of winter trees
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.

Winkworth to Oakhurst trail
If you're looking for a longer walk, dig out your walking boots and give our Winkworth to Oakhurst trail a go. Totalling 2.5 miles, this walk gently meanders through the Surrey countryside allowing you to stop at points of interest along the way.
Tree Adventure
If you've got little ones with you, don't forget to stop off at our Tree Adventure on the way, featuring a rope tunnel, fireman's pole and even a climbing wall!
Warming treats
When you've finished your walk, pop into the tea-room near the kiosk for a warming drink and a slice of homemade cake, baked fresh daily. Indulge guilt-free, knowing every bite helps us preserve and protect Winkworth's historic landscape for years to come.
