The Westonbirt Project

Westonbirt, The National Arboretum is a place of environmental and historical importance. We want our visitors to really connect with our trees; delve into our landscape, discover our history and share our excitement for the future.

A series of phased developments led by the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum will help to deliver this vision.

Phase one includes a Welcome Building that shares our story with our visitors, a new car park and a restored Grade I Listed Downs landscape. In later phases we plan to offer a new way for visitors to enjoy our arboretum and improve backstage facilities and propagation areas. Find out more on these pages.
