Queenswood Country Park
This splendid park is the only designated country park in Herefordshire. At Queenswood you'll find an arboretum, with over 1,200 rare and exotic trees from all over the world. There are a number of waymarked trails as well as a sculpture trail, early autumn tree trail and late autumn tree trail. Trail highlights include the Lime Avenue, the Autumn and Summer Gardens and Cottrell's Folly.
The park is located about 6.5 miles north of the cathedral city of Hereford and 4 miles south of Leominster where you can enjoy some nice trails along the River Lugg. Near here you can also visit Berrington Hall where there are some lovely trails to follow around the 250 acre estate.

To the west is the delightful village of Weobley where you can see the historic Norman church, several photogenic medieval dwellings and The Ley, a Grade-I listed farmhouse dating to 1589. The Black and White Village Trail can also be picked up here. This long distance footpath explores several of the towns and villages of the county.

Photos
Looking westwards along the main path. Beautiful autumn colours in this arboretum.
Picnic benches in the park. Queenswood park covers 103 acres of native woodland.
Queenswood visitor centre. Victorian postbox in working order, but the telephone box is no longer working. This is the first view that you see from the car park. The well maintained exterior shows the care and thought that has been put into its creation.
Colours in the the Autumn Garden. The arboretum is open all year round and has free entry. Very informative and there are often special quizzes etc for the kids. Good value!
