The Arboretum at Colesbourne Park has a magnificent collection of over 200 trees from around the world, collected by HJ Elwes FRS and added to over the past 50 years by Sir Henry Elwes.

For two weekends only during autumn 2026 you can visit the wonders of this parkland. Open 12pm to 4pm on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September and also Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October. Guided tours will be available to join throughout the day with Sir Henry Elwes and Head Gardener Katie Reynolds, or wander and explore the beauty on your own.

Many of the trees in the collection are recognised as the largest of their size in the United Kingdom (Champion Trees) and one oriental plane has been registered as one of the 70 UK trees to celebrate the late Queens Platinum Jubilee.

Entry is £15 per person, children are free. Tours take place throughout the day, no extra charge and no booking required. Dogs on leads are welcome. To learn more about the wonderful Arboretum visit our Arboretum page here.
