Attenborough Arboretum

I did not know that this park was here, and I was definitely missing out. This place is very beautiful and cosy. There is a wide range of plants here. As a gardening and tree enthusiast, I would recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful. A little gem on my doorstep. My son and i spent a coupe of hours here for the 1st time and he didnt want to leave. Brilliant for little explorers

Great little gem. Peaceful spot for a mini walk and some nice info about the trees. It is open on weekends now. The website should read botanic-garden and has more info if you go to the right site.

Small,but a really lovely place.Great for a weekend walk and spend time with nature.

As it was a warm day I finally got around to visiting the arboretum having been promising myself for sometime
I was not disappointed it was peaceful and quite lovely, there are informative signs explaining which species of tree your looking at and the origin of them as well as other bits of information, I did weave a little of the willow arch which was fun.
I enjoyed my walk and will be returning to explore further.

Always a pleasure to visit. They are doing some major improvements. Took advantage of the free compost.

Lovely but we got wet, caught in one of the many showers that have been so prevalent in this soggy summer of 2023. Hoping to go again soon and enjoy the arboreal delights for which this place is so renowned. Good car park there and the provision of public toilets is very much appreciated.

Beautiful location, really good for a short walk, close to a local pub if that's your sort of thing.

A wildlife haven in five acres of managed woodland. Accessible paths. Gate open off Carisbrooke Road with small carpark. Toilets.

My lady and I both like trees so this is the place! The trees are laid out in the order that they arrived in the British isles after the great ice sheets melted. The amble round took about 90 minutes. There is a toilet and parking on site but you'll have to take your own munchies.
Great stuff

A lovely quiet patch of south Leicester with plenty of interesting and we'll labelled tree species. Lots of wildlife. Paths a little slippy underfoot, so recommend sturdy footwear.

Peaceful place with lots of hiatory and beautiful plants. No dogs allowed.

Great learning day out. Lovely place, lots of information to digest and a great place for a walk.

Beautiful hidden gem, perfect during this lovely weather. They have began to open during the weekends, the times need to be updated on this.

Beautiful garden with lots of space to explore. Interesting exotic plants. Well worth more than a visit.

Lovely patch of managed woodland ideal for a short stroll or as we did a longer route 5 x round 😀

Lovely place to walk and birdwatch with educational signage about plants and what eras they arrived in Britain

Wonderful green space and a great walk through Knighton to the Botanical Gardens. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful oasis, visited forest school. Lovely staff and surroundings

Really enjoyable area of calm.
