Batsford Arboretum

[smallhobbit]

We 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:

Oooops...I appear to be reading and commenting on posts out of order.

I'm glad that you were able to spend some time with your daughter on her birthday. 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! :-)

It's always nice to see the daughter on or around her birthday, and it tends to work out as a good time to meet as we won't have seen each other for a few months.

Batsford is a lovely place to visit, particularly when there aren't that many people about. I'm delighted you liked the photos!

Belated happy birthday to your daughter - I hope she had a lovely birthday. Batsford Arboretum looks beautiful!

Thank you - she was in uni for her birthday, but had a good day later that week at Bletchley Park and we had lunch there, so it was good. The Arboretum is lovely.
