Wander along winding paths and streams through Batsford’s beautiful 60-acre tree garden, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. Children can explore the arboretum via engaging trails designed to entertain and inspire, with a prize waiting at the finish. Don’t miss the popular Easter hunt, running from late March. After exploring, browse the gift shop and garden centre, then relax with lunch or a sweet treat at The Garden Terrace Café. A visit to the play area is the perfect way to end the day. Batsford offers a memorable day out for the whole family – dogs included – and is open daily.
