Batsford Arboretum and Garden Centre

The best place in area to visit for beautiful autumn reviews. Love the colours all around yellow, red, orange. At some places its like a red carpet on garden floor. A lot of people, parking was nearly packed. It takes about couple of hours to get around. Lots of different trees and plants from other countries, bridges, rivers and water falls. Cafe is there to take a break of coffee or tea with sandwiches. Garden centre on-site with a gift shop. Dogs are very welcome. Lots of parking which is free. £10 with gift aid to get in and the tickets are valid all day, you can leave and return if you wish. Amazing view points throughout the walk of the Cotswolds. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Beautiful Arboretum!!!! Went for the autumn leafs and it did not disappoint! Having some more signs of trees would have been better and some maps within would have been nicer as well but lovely space with a lit of Japanese maple trees and overall we loved it! Since it was weekend it felt quite busy but would love to come back during week time and spend longer hours! The cafe was amazing!!

Solid middle ground experience. We have visited some of the best botanical gardens in the world so we do have high expectations, however we felt the paths and overall appearance of the place could have been tidier. We came in autumn so we knew not to expect any perennial displays. Some of the tree were lovely, particularly the acers. The ponds need dredging, some of the trees are a bit unruly.

Excellent place to visit and plenty to see, nice surrounding and wasn't too crowded. Definitely worth popping in. Quite a walk (about 60 acres all in all) but plenty of benches to stop for a rest. Excellent cafe albeit a tad expensive. Great garden centre on site will plenty to see and buy.

Beautiful colours even without the sun.A wonderful selection of amazing trees , mostly a paved pathway to wander along so kept clean .Plenty of parking . Partially dog friendly . Ideal for children to let off steam Just avoid the burger stand by the entrance / exit , it filled a whole after cold days walk but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it . Pretty basic . The coffee was fine from the drinks van though .

What an amazing place!! Very large Arboretum overlooking some amazing views Takes about 2 hours to walk round but you can easily spend longer Paths are easy to follow with so many beautiful trees Dog friendly Great place for kids to explore Lovely restaurant for refreshments after Flapjack and brownie are amazing Dogs welcome too Nice shop and garden centre Would definitely recommend

Lovely colours though slightly intimidated by the barrage of officious signs as you enter. Was worried I was going to end up in a timber prison being whipped with bark tipped weapons. The gradient was a good work out. Misread the signs to the kids play park and ended up taking a pram down a perilous set of steps only to later find the ramp access. I didn’t kill my child and he enjoyed the slide.

Lovely place to spend an hour or two. There are some great views over the sloping hills of the Cotswolds. We had a perfect day to visit - sunny and dry. There are some hilly paths, but if you take it slow, nothing is too strenuous. An added bonus: the food in their cafe is quite good!
