Tucked away in the Old Arboretum, Westonbirt’s bird hide is one of the site's best-kept secrets. It sits quietly among mature trees and hazel fencing woven from wood coppiced right on the estate. It’s a cool, shady spot to watch the summer rush of woodland birds.
Crafted in collaboration with local craft distillers using hand-foraged botanicals from the arboretum's tree collection, Westonbirt's limited-edition Arboreal Spirit gin bottles the authentic, seasonal aroma of the landscape. (18+, please drink responsibly)...
Nature does not have boundaries, and we believe experiencing it shouldn't either. Whether you’re navigating Silk Wood or seeking a quiet space in the Old Arboretum, we want your visit to be as seamless and comfortable as possible.
