Group Bookings & Guided Walks
Guided walks are always recommended for groups. They are at a relaxed pace mainly on flat ground and last for approximately 1 hour. The walks are very informative and are generally taken by James Binnian who is the owner and co-founder of the Arboretum. Groups who have been on the walks frequently comment how their visit has been made more enjoyable with a greater understanding of Bodenham.
Schools & Nursery Visits
Schools are invited to visit the Arboretum any day of the week. You are welcome to picnic in the grounds, on the terrace or, if requested, the Forest School Shelter. A guided walk is always recommended for school groups. It is best at the beginning of the visit, providing an excellent introduction and understanding of the Arboretum and farm. It is conducted in a light hearted way for the children to enjoy, with special time given to the farm. The guided walk lasts approximately 1 hour.
