We’re going back to the arboretum for some spring time trees!
3.2 miles, 3 hours
You’ll need to book a place on this walk.
Thanks to the community scheme at the arboretum, we’ve got free passes for our hikers to get in. Once you’ve booked your place above (free or donation), you won’t need to pay anything else to get in.
You can come on a walk with the group, or make your own way round (no offence taken!). We’ll go at a relaxed pace. Bring a packed lunch or get something at the cafe.
Meeting time 11:30am, to set off at 11:40am.
Meeting point Meet outside the main entrance to the welcome building (don’t go through the ticket gate - the ticket you book with us is not a ticket for the arboretum). 40 minute drive from Bristol.
Difficulty Not too challenging. Mostly flat and paved. Relaxed pace. About 1.5 hours walking time, with a longer stop for lunch.
