IN THE GROUNDS

The gardens at Walcot Hall cover over 30 acres, including one of the finest Arboretums in Britain with a rich profusion of tree, shrub and herbaceous plantings. Different trees are ever being added and amongst the notable specimens is a huge Douglas Fir, planted by Lord Powis in 1842 and once one of the largest trees of its kind in Britain.  The Arboretum is open from 12 noon to 5 pm on every day except Saturdays, from April through to September.  The charge is £3 per adult and details can be found in the car park at main entrance to Hall.
