Arboretum

Sprawling across several acres just outside Stourport-on-Severn, this collection of trees from around the world makes for a proper peaceful wander. The paths wind between specimens ranging from towering redwoods to delicate Japanese maples, though don't expect flashy signage - you'll need to bring your own tree identification skills or a decent app.

Families with younger children might find it lacks the playground appeal of more commercial attractions, but older kids who enjoy nature will appreciate the space to roam. Tree enthusiasts and anyone seeking a gentle hour's walk away from crowds will get the most from a visit here. The autumn colours are particularly lovely, though spring brings its own rewards with fresh growth and early blossoms.

From the nearby holiday parks around Stourport, it's an easy detour that works well as part of a longer countryside ramble or combined with a visit to the town's canal basin. Walshes Farm and Lickhill Manor are both within walking distance if you fancy stretching your legs from your caravan. Allow at least an hour for a proper look around, though you could easily spend longer if the weather's fine and you've brought a picnic.
