Westonbirt Aboretum
Westonbirt, The National Arboretum is one of the most spectacular tree gardens in the world. An historical collection of over 3,000 different trees and shrub species many of which are rare or endangered in their native lands. These photos are from November 2007. I think I was about a week or two too late to get the full benefit of the autumn colours.
