Tree Trail
You will need to have the tree trail map available on your mobile device to follow this trail. Get it here or find a link towards the bottom of this page.
The basic walk is about a mile. There is an additional mile over the Savick brook bridge and another 1/3rd mile around the pond, so you can tailor it to your needs. There are a few trees marked on the map that are not on this trail, take them in as well if you like!
From the car park, up the road to...
Wych Elm
Into the park and find...
Horse chestnut (conker or cheggie tree)
Black Poplar
Lime (a whole avenue of them!)
Stop off here to look at the rose garden...
Holly
Copper Beech
Oak
Birch
Hawthorn - pink (it has pink flowers in May)
Mulberry (the most popular tree in the park)
Weeping Willow
Now you have an option around part of the nature reserve and less formal parts of the park, adding about a mile, or jump over this bit and do it another day...
Over the bridge..
Beech
Over the little bridge (you could skip these 4, but you'll miss out)...

Back over the little bridge...

Hazel
Ash
Sycamore

Back over the bridge...
Now another optional bit around the pond, adding about 1/3rd mile...

Back to the 'short' trail we take in the Sensory Garden...

And the back up the big path to the car park, or have a play!
