Britain's Best Spring Arboretums

Countryfile have named Britain's Best Spring Arboretums and I am delighted to see that one of them is in North Yorkshire.

• Westonbirt Arboretum - Westonbirt, Tetbury, Gloucestershire
• Thorp Perrow Arboretum - Bedale, North Yorkshire
• Arley Arboretum - Arley, Northwich, Cheshire
• Stone Lane Gardens Arboretum - Chagford, Newton Abbot, Devon
• Bedgebury National Pinetum - Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Kent
  

Countryfile say of Thorp Perrow Arboretum, "Among the 85 acres of woodland walks Thorp Perrow holds one of the largest and rarest collections of trees and shrubs in the north of England, including five national collections – Ash, Lime, Walnut, Laburnum and Cotinus. Spring is Daffodil time, followed by Blossom and carpets of Bluebells. The Arboretum is also home to a Falconry Centre, a captive breeding and conservation park."

So why not make Valley View Farm your base in North Yorkshire and then explore Thorp Perrow Arboretum.
