Arboretum

In 1937 Geoffrey Roper divided a section from The Park garden that extended down to the main drive and created The Arboretum; a collection of fine trees and shrubs. Planting began almost a hundred years ago and today we have some of the finest specimens of Magnolia, Rhododendron, Hamamelis, Liriodendron, Halesia and Cornus. There is also a good specimen of Picea farrerii that came to Forde Abbey from Burma.
