Families visiting Westonbirt Arboretum this spring can uncover some of its best kept secrets, with a new interactive nature trail launching this March 2026.
What is Westonbirt Arboretum's Best Kept Secrets family spring trail?
Visitors are invited to peer beyond the unfurling leaves and blossoms of Westonbirt's trees this spring, discovering hidden flora and fauna on its new Best Kept Secrets trail.
Home to an abundance of wildlife, families can embark on a journey through its dog-friendly Silk Wood to learn more about spring nature and take part in fun activities at each stop along the way.
Spot the changing colours of the horse chestnut flowers, find out fun facts about the hidden creatures living in moss, create a 'zippy' darting bee dance and more, with a rubbing plaque at each trail spot when you can collect a hidden image in your trail leaflet, available for free at the Welcome Building.
