National Garden Scheme. Open Garden. Cherry Tree Arboretum

Garden opening for charity

Created in 2006 on 50 acres of unspoilt, pastureland scattered with mature oaks by John and Liz Ravenscroft. Located on a hilly area overlooking the Cheshire plain with views to the Pennines in the north, the Peckforton Hills to the northwest and the Breiddons to the southwest. It is a showcase of specimen trees with magnolias, peonies, dahlias, lilacs, deciduous azaleas and North American oaks.

April is an avenue of white magnolias in many varieties. The earliest of the cherries will also be opening. A series of trails and paths run between the meadows and native wildflowers in the arboretum.

Admission £10. Children free. Light refreshments
