BlueBell Arboretum  - Planting in our beautiful garden was started in 1992 and it now covers an area of nine acres. British native trees were first planted to provide much needed shelter on this site. Into the wood that this created were planted hundreds of the choice, rare and unusual plants in which our adjacent nursery specialises.
Although most of the large trees are still young, many of the shrubs and smaller trees already show their full beauty of form and habit and the arboretum has become a lovely woodland walk with rare plant treasures on display to entice the real enthusiast!
The garden is lovely all year round but particularly beautiful in late spring (Magnolias), summer and autumn (stunning autumn colour).
