Batsford Arboretum
Jul. 2nd, 2023 04:54 pmWe were on our way to Milton Keynes as we were meeting The Daughter to spend a day with her to celebrate her birthday (and deliver the cake and presents), and were spending a couple of nights there either side. On the way we decided to break our journey at Batsford Arboretum. We've been there before about three years ago, so didn't spend as long exploring, but enjoyed a walk around, as well as an excellent lunch.
Having looked back at what I wrote in 2020, we weren't as impressed then. But then it was the middle of August, rather than late June, so everything was much greener. There were also far fewer people present which again made a big difference.
Here's a few photos to give you an idea of what it's like:

Batsford Arboretum is beautiful, though I can imagine that it's not quite as impressive when it's less green, especially with all those trees and foliage. You took some great photos, btw! :-)
