Westonbirt National Arboretum
Spread over 600 acres and with 17 miles of paths, this arboretum is known for its extensive collection of trees and shrubs. A lovely place to spend an hour or two, it's 3 miles southwest of Tetbury and 10 miles north of Bath. The best times to come for color are in late spring, when the rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias are blooming, and in fall, when the maples come into their own. Open-air concerts take place in summer, and there are exhibitions and activities for kids year-round. A gift shop, café, and restaurant are on-site.
