Drawn to Nature Autumn Trail at Westonbirt Arboretum

This autumn, discover the beauty of Westonbirt Arboretum in a whole new way with our Drawn to Nature Trail, a creative journey inspired by the stunning botanical illustrations from the Bedgebury Florilegium exhibition.

Featuring nine tree species from the exhibition, the trail invites you to look beyond the vibrant autumn colours and observe the finer details of nature. With a sketchbook and charcoal in hand, you’ll be encouraged to explore your artistic side, capturing the textures, shapes, and stories of the trees around you.

Pick up your free sketchbook and trail map from the Welcome Building, along with charcoal to get started. Each stop along the trail offers tips and inspiration to help you create your own artwork, whether you're a seasoned artist or just curious to try something new.

Let nature’s fireworks spark your creativity and celebrate the season through art, observation, and imagination.
