Discover this magical woodland in the heart of Herefordshire.
Queenswood is a fragment of a vast ancient wood that once stretched to the Welsh borders and beyond. This native woodland teems with wildlife and is a wonderful place for all the family to explore.
A collection of trees from around the world was begun at Queenswood in 1953. This arboretum now covers 47 acres and 1,200 rare and exotic trees for all to enjoy. It is famed for its autumn colour but is beautiful all year round from glades of wildflowers and boughs laden with blossom in the spring to frosted branches in winter.
There are different way-marked walks around the Arboretum ranging from 1 mile to 2.5 miles, many on easy-access paths and some routes suitable for electric mobility scooters – bring your own. Don’t miss the viewpoint with panoramic views to the Malvern Hills in the east across to the Black Mountains in the west.
The wider woodland around the Arboretum stretches for almost 170 acres in total, so if you want to explore further, just pull on some boots and pick up a map from the visitor centre!
Start your visit at the Gift Shop & Visitor Centre where volunteers will introduce you to the site. Run by Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, the shop stocks a wealth of gorgeous gifts for all ages, many designed and made in Herefordshire by local producers and artisans. Both the Visitor Centre and the Café are housed in beautiful restored timber-framed buildings.
Free admission to the arboretum, there is ample on site pay-before-you-leave parking, and a picnic area with an adventure playground.
