Trails

Details

In addition to the many paths for more intrepid explorers, there are a number of waymarked trails of differing lengths at Queenswood.

The full map and trail guide is 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 are two EMVs on site which can be booked in advance from the Visitor Centre – contact us by using the buttons below.

Please help us raise funds to buy a new electric mobility vehicle for visitors to use at Queenswood, by donating here.
