I went to Thorp Perrow Arboretum for a day out just before Hallowe'en armed just with a mobile phone for taking snaps and what a wonderful place - thoroughly enjoyed it. It just goes to prove that bark can be just as attractive as foliage. Here are some pics of my visit - warning ** pic intensive post **

Some more...The Arboretum covers 100 acres and is currently home to 5 National Plant Collections and 51 Champion Trees (recorded and designated by the Tree Register of the British Isles). The Arboretum also embraces the Milbank Pinetum planted by Lady Augusta Milbank in the mid-nineteenth century, and the medieval Spring Wood dating back to the 16th century. I could have taken 100's more!!
