Today visited Thorp Perrow Arboretum which covers over 100 acres in an area close to Masham. This arboretum is unique to England in as much it was created by one man between 1895 & 1977. An amazing setting with thousands of trees and shrubs. Was first opened to the public in 1980 when a further 1500 new trees were planted.
None of the trees are identified but have a numbered label and a identification book is available to purchase.
A delightful setting.
Left at 3pm taking the Nidderdale and Wharfedale drive home which was stunning in the extreme with an early evening showing of the sun.
Arrived back in Bramhope at 6pm after another great day out.
Look forward to a few days in the Lake District now.
