Bethlehem Wood

Here you will find one of Britain’s finest national collections of birches (Betula). 

These trees are beautiful at any time of the year – their coloured bark glows in the winter sunlight, while their delicate leaves provide dappled shade through the summer months. Towards autumn many of the American species turn a rich yellow creating a magical canopy under which to walk.  

In mid-April, Bethlehem Wood is carpeted with bluebells, one of Britain’s greatest wildflower displays.
