Barnwood Arboretum & Park

Barnwood Arboretum & Park is a hidden gem located in Gloucester, offering a peaceful escape for visitors of all ages. Originally part of the grounds of a large Victorian psychiatric hospital, the area has been lovingly restored and maintained by volunteers. The park boasts a wide variety of specimen trees, including redwoods and an impressive English Oak, alongside a stream, duck pond, and open fields. The site also features historical elements, such as the remains of an old church now used as a gym, adding another layer of interest to the natural beauty.
