SUMMARY:Autumn Season at Tortworth Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a self-guided walk through the tranquil Dell of Tortworth Arboretum. This month we’re celebrating the glorious colours of Autumn as the arboretum puts on a stunning display of red\, orange and golden leaves.\nWe invite you to enjoy the peace of this place\, follow a map of marked trails or go off grid and create your own. This ancient woodland was once overrun by bramble and bracken\, and since 2014 has been carefully restored by a dedicated team of volunteers. They have uncovered an arena and steps once used by donkeys to transport produce from the kitchen gardens to the main house\, plus a stunning collection of over 600\, native\, exotic and veteran trees. As the ground was cleared we were rewarded with carpets of seasonal flowers\, including snowdrops and bluebells. Work now focuses on replanting and maintaining the arboretum. The team have created paths and cleared around trees and plants 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. \nOnce you’ve finished your walk\, or if you need a brief break just follow the enticing smell of woodsmoke back to the Roundhouse where a warm beverage awaits you. \nConnect with yourself\, connect with your loved ones\, connect with nature. \nTickets and information \nOur 2026 visitor days are supported by funding from the National Lottery Awards for All Environment Grant. Tickets are now available on a sliding scale donation basis. \nHere’s how we see each suggested donation:\n• Free ticket – for those for whom any payment would cause genuine hardship. This is for people struggling with everyday costs such as food\, rent\, bills\, or transport.\n• £5 for those who can meet daily costs but contributing a small amount would be a noticeable sacrifice. This is suitable for people with limited disposable income or who occasionally need to plan carefully to cover essentials.\n• £8 for those comfortably meeting daily costs with some disposable income. Paying this amount might require minor sacrifices\, but it is manageable and allows you to support the arboretum fairly.\n• £10 for those with savings\, stable income\, or additional financial resources. Choosing this tier is a way to actively support the restoration and wellbeing programme and help subsidise access for others. \nIf you are booking multiple tickets\, you can mix and match tiers to suit each person’s circumstances\, so a family or group can attend comfortably without anyone facing hardship. For further information on each of the tiers to help you decide\, please see this page. \nBy making a donation of any amount you support the arboretum restoration and our woodland wellbeing programme which helps people struggling with their mental health. Thank you for your generosity. \n\nRead more about planning your visit.\nWant to hear about future events? Sign up to our mailing list\nLast entry one hour before closing
