With plenty of grounds to cover and a range of different well-marked trails, your woodland walk will be unlike anything else. Choose your own adventure – whether it's lovely walks by the serene lakes or an invigorating hike up the hill for stunning views. Find tranquillity by the lakeside, where the resident ducks and swans gracefully glide on the water. Or escape into the beautifully manicured gardens, bursting with seasonal blooms and fragrant blossoms. Remember to bring your camera – every corner is a photo opportunity!

All aboard the Bodenham Express! Kids and adults alike will delight in a whimsical train ride through the heart of the arboretum. It's a chance to see the landscape from a different perspective, and who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of a friendly squirrel or two!

Nature lovers, keep your eyes peeled! Bodenham Arboretum is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Spot elusive birds, butterflies, and maybe even a shy deer or two. Binoculars at the ready – you never know what creatures might cross your path! Speaking of animals, Bodenham is a working farm so, you can often see friendly farm animals in the fields. There are even sheepdogs that roam around and sometimes even accompany visitors on their gentle walks!

"Beautiful surroundings and lovely Nativity trail done for the children. Gorgeous Christmas lunch where my only complaint was that the food wasn't very hot. Staff are friendly and polite. I'd definitely return and recommend to others. Wear appropriate footwear, the trails are very muddy at the moment." - Mish
