Spend a day exploring the woodlands at RHS Garden Rosemoor, including several areas not normally open to the public. RHS Garden Rosemoor owns and manages extensive woodlands, including coniferous woods, and mixed deciduous and distinctive Atlantic rainforests. During late April and May, the bluebell woods are at their peak, the trees have fresh new leaves, and it is a great time of year to see the woodlands.
There is the chance to visit different areas of woodland that are part of the wider Rosemoor grounds. The morning will be spent on the Visitor Centre side of Rosemoor, then after a picnic lunch, we’ll head over to Lady Anne’s Garden to see the bluebells and then via the Arboretum to the semi-ancient natural woodlands beyond.
During the course of the day, we’ll be walking several miles. In each area, you’ll learn more about the tree species and wildlife that lives there.
Please bring with you:
- Your booking reference number
- A notebook and pencil to make notes
- Camera (or mobile phone for photos)
Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for the weather on the day. This workshop includes walking several miles outside on uneven terrain, which may also be wet or muddy, depending on the recent weather. Walking boots or sturdy waterproof footwear are essential whatever the weather, plus a items such as raincoats and waterproof trousers or sun hat and suncream.
Includes tea, coffee, biscuits and picnic lunch.
Please note: This walk is not accessible for wheelchairs or trampers due to the uneven and in places steep terrain. Walking boots or wellies are essential, and clothing suitable to the weather on the day.
