Visiting the Eastwoodhill Arboretum in Autumn
Autumn really is the best time to visit the arboretum because of the most brilliant reds, oranges and yellows throughout this foliage sanctuary. The cooler weather has been creeping in, but you can still enjoy some sunny days if you plan ahead. The arboretum is filled with almost 3,500 types of trees, climbers and shrubs, and boasts of the largest variety of exotic trees you can find in the south.
