All eyes on the Old Arboretum!

Today I went out into the Old Arboretum, braving the rain and wind, to see how the colours were looking in our most spectacular season here at Westonbirt.

An early trip to Acer Glade proved more than worthwhile. As I got closer the view became more and more mesmerizing. The ruby reds, neon oranges and bright yellows were a joy to photograph. The raindrops brought out the autumn colour even more, as the glossy leaves shone in all their glory whilst fluttering in the wind – proving their beauty no matter what the weather!

There were plenty of visitors also braving the elements and exploring in their waterproofs and wellies. So why not pop down and have a look for yourselves? It really is a sight to behold!
