Each spring, Tortworth Forest Centre and Arboretum opens its gates for one of the most magical times of the year, bluebell season.
We only open to the public around eight times a year, making this a rare chance to explore the arboretum at its most breathtaking.
We welcome visitors of all ages, but please note this is a dog-free day to help protect the delicate bluebells and wildlife.
Enjoy homemade cake and hot drinks warmed on the roundhouse fire, adding rustic charm to this peaceful setting.
Bluebells are a sign of ancient woodland, and their abundance here tells a story centuries in the making.
Since 2014, volunteers have carefully restored land once lost to bramble and bracken, revealing historic features including a former arena and donkey steps, alongside a remarkable collection of over 600 native, exotic and veteran trees.
Thanks to support from the National Lottery, visits are offered on a donation basis.
Come and connect with nature, loved ones, and yourself.
