About Us

The Yorkshire Arboretum is open Feb 1st - Nov 30th.

The Yorkshire Arboretum, nestled on the Castle Howard Estate near York, is a glorious, 48.5ha (120 acre) garden of trees set in a lovely landscape of parkland, lakes and ponds. Explore the landscape and admire the trees, and walk through a large enclosure with breeding Red Squirrels for a chance to meet these delightful but rare native mammals. With woodland walks, tours, family activities, a café, gift shop and a busy events programme, there's something on offer for visitors of all ages wanting to enjoy the space, serenity and beauty of this sheltered valley, as well as those with an interest in its extensive collection of trees and shrubs.

Under 12's are admitted free of charge.

Free parking on site and groups and coach parties are welcome by prior arrangement. Free WiFi is available throughout the Visitor Centre. Dogs are very welcome and we have a spacious off-lead area for them to run around in. Electric buggies may be booked in advance to enable those with limited mobility to discover even the most distant reaches of the arboretum.
