National Trust - Winkworth Arboretum

England, United Kingdom

---

National Trust – Winkworth Arboretum is a hillside woodland garden near Godalming in Surrey, southern England, set in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It was created from the 1930s onward by local doctor and horticulturalist Dr Wilfrid Fox, who planted more than 1,000 species of trees and shrubs to make the slopes blaze with colour in all seasons, especially in autumn.

The arboretum covers about 121 acres and follows the wooded hillside down to a pair of landscaped lakes, linked by a network of winding paths that pass through mixed woodland, meadows, and wetland areas. 

Now cared for by the National Trust, it offers a peaceful, largely dog‑friendly place to walk, play, and relax, with a tea‑room, a family‑friendly “Tree Adventure” play area, and seasonal displays ranging from spring magnolias and bluebells to vivid fall foliage.
