Details
In addition to the many gentle, criss-crossing paths of the Arboretum, for more intrepid explorers, there are a number of waymarked trails at Queenswood of differing lengths and difficulty.
Free maps of the Arboretum and the individual trail maps are available from the Visitor Centre.
The main route around the Arboretum is on surfaced paths which are easy access and suitable for Electric Mobility Vehicles (EMVs) unless the weather is very wet or icy in winter. There is one EMV on site, a trike for one, which can be booked in advance from the Visitor Centre, in return for a £5 donation for 1-2 hours of use. Please contact us by using the buttons below.
Our trike is getting old and gives a great deal of pleasure to those who use it, so please, if you can, help us to raise funds to buy a new one for visitors with limited mobility to use at Queenswood by donating here. Thank you!
Please see below for information about the individual trails.
