Visitor Day – July 2022

Come and explore The Dell at the Tortworth Arboretum!

Usually reserved for exclusive bookings, the Visitor Days are a chance to discover this special place and our botanical tree collection. You are invited to enjoy the peace, wander under redwoods, picnic amongst towering cedars and get lost among a hundred shades of green.

Tickets are limited to maintain the tranquility of the forest, so we recommend prior booking; however some are available on the day.

Ticket details:

• Adults £8 per person
• Children (5-17 years) £2 per person
• Infants (0-4 years) Free

Please note:

This is an arboretum restoration project in progress! We are working hard with volunteers to restore, replant and maintain the arboretum following years of abandonment. We have created paths and cleared around trees so they can flourish and be enjoyed, and are improving labelling and signage. It’s still wild in places, and we plan to keep it that way because it’s part of what makes this place unique. Moreover, it’s also great for wildlife.

Planning your visit:

• Unfortunately, the site is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues, and only suitable for off-road buggies
• We encourage car sharing, as there is limited parking along a dead-end lane. Please use the turning area before parking facing down the lane.
• We have a compost loo on-site
• There is no running water here
• Please take all your rubbish with you
• Well behaved dogs welcome on leads

Please find detailed information about how to find us, and more information to help you plan your visits here.
