Week 42 - Winkworth Arboretum

Nov 7

Winkworth Arboretum is a National Trust property in Busbridge (near Godalming), Surrey.

It was created by Dr Wilfred Fox in the first half of the 20th century and expertly planted to display the most magnificent array of autumn colour.

Unfortunately our visit was a tad too early in the year to witness this colourful autumnal splendour.

This week there is only the slightest hint of the colours to come.

However, it is still a beautiful place to visit at any time and the weather was particularly kind to us.

I think a visit a week or two later would have seen it at its majestic best.
