    Lodmoor Tree Trail

    Everyone knows trees are amazing: they filter out pollution, provide shade, slow down climate change and provide food and shelter for wildlife. Not to mention supplying us with fruit, nuts and wood. But do you know which tree’s timber is best for making boats? Or what species of tree was spread by squirrels? Or the best tree to plant outside your house to scare off witches?!

    Find out the answers to these questions and many more on the Lodmoor Tree Trail – an easy 45-minute circular walk around the Country Park exploring the trees as you go.
