Arley Arboretum & Gardens

These beautiful historic gardens and arboretum dating back to the late 1700's are surrounded by over 1600 acres of countryside within the picturesque village of Upper Arley beside the river Severn. In addition to providing wonderful walks through the 300 ancient trees of the arboretum there are walks along the banks of the river, all set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside with far reaching views. Go back in time and watch the Severn Valley Railway trains steam across the hill from one of the magnificent signposted walks. An ideal day out for you and your family with an adventure play area and a maze for the kids as well as interactive trails and seasonal events. The Italian Garden with feature fountains and formal planting is a must see along with our Magnolia Garden, laburnum arch, Camellia walk, Acers and majestic Autumn colours. There is a wonderful garden tearoom, serving delicious homemade food, cakes and a wide selection of hot and cold drinks.
