Westonbirt Acers

How gorgeous. Beautiful trees and colours Lulu. Thanks for showing those. Its a fabulous place

I went a few years ago.....its stunning

I fell in love with the Liquidambars too

straight to favs Lulu ! Say no more !!

Oh Lou, absolutely fab photos, what amazing trees and those colours, wow........................love the twisted trunks.

Oh yes, those Liquidambers..tried to get a good photo of them but need a wider lens. The bark I especially like.
I think this year my faves have been the yellows with the dark twisted trunks, they look very feminine. Thanks for looking folks.
And Bampy I went especially for you really!!

Hardly a surprise you ran out of words Lulu...there are so many adjectives you could use to describe those trees and your pictures for that matter :)
You captured some beautiful pictures, very atmospheric and eye catching.
Thanks for showing us.

oh those are so beautiful lulu ~ i think thats money very well spent.
gorgeous pictures of amazing trees! thank you

wish i was only 5 miles away!

Wonderful Autumn colours and the light shows them off just perfectly, great blog :o)

too kind & I'm flattered Lulu ! Every bit of any acer just draws me in, this place is a dream.
My house is called Amber House, planted a liquidamber 20 years ago & the bark is quite remarkable. From a 4' sapling it was 20' untill a gale took the top 6' off. Glorious deep claret autumn colours at the moment.

Stunning!

Glorious colours and wonderful shapes - love your use of light too.

Thank you.
Bampy I am going to have to try harder to photograph those liquid ambers...............

can you drink that liquid amber?

The place is on my wish list to visit. Maybe next year? lol.
thank you for sharing - fantastic pics Lulu:)

That is it into my favourites too Lulu. Fab!

What a wonderful place. There are some lovely trees growing there. Would be a wonderland for dogs (& puppies) to romp about in. I do sympathise with the whole "Jazzypup" thing. I have a 10 week old golden retriever puppy who is usually good at recall, but at times I can call repeatedly & he is within earshot & totally ignores me. Eventually he does come, either when he has lost interest in what he is doing, or he is fed up with hearing my voice lol. As he has not yet completed his vaccination course, I cannot take him off our property, but when I am able to in about two weeks time, I won't be taking him off leash for quite some time, that's for sure.

Dare I say, acertastic...JazzyPup JazzyPup lol
PS can i just ask with this new membership, does that entitle you to invite guests for free entry? ; )

Lulu you take a great photograph, the colours on the trees are amazing, I would love to visit there, as its so far away I will have to be satisfied with sharing your pics, added to my favs, thankyou.....

Glorious to see so many at once! I have only one - in fact the Acer in your first pic looks the twin of mine - but if we had more land that wasn't destined to grow veggies I'd definitely set it to lawn with several more acers of varying heights. Lovely pics - wish I could join you on your next walk (although I will - virtually!). :o)

We stayed near there,a couple of years ago,but sadly,we weren't able to visit Westonbirt...thanks for the lovely pics,Lulu :o)

Yes Jazzy is to be re named 'Fenton'!!
Sad to report that membership doesn't include 'friend in for free' unless you have soft velvety ears and a waggy tail!

Glad you enjoyed the Acer bonanza folks :)

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ,WOW!!! THE TREES ARE FANTASTIC!

Liquid amber...I found it, to drink that is Sticki, in the form of Mead! The honey drink!
It is such a beautiful place Junna.

mmmmmmmmmm sounds delish!

Rather too delish! at 14% alcohol!

That's how I like it!

Stevie, do you have soft velvet ears and a waggy tail??? Lol (see Lou's comment)

Well I was thinking, taking a few cuttings might help with the entrance fee ; )

A very nice landscaping. It must be quite old arboretum. I think it was a good idea to go and make photos there just this time of the year. Thank you for the blog.

WOW! Your photos of those yellow trees with the twisted branches & trunks with the sunlight behind them are really fabulous! :-))

Delightful photos, visited a few years back, but not at this time of the year, so have never seen the trees in all their glory, so thanks for this lovely blog.

just been to an arboretum today ~ not anywhere near as good as this!

Which one Sticki?

Arley in Worcestershire, I really like it DD but it is smaller than westonbirt and doesn't have anywhere near as many acers.

LOVELY :-))))

I love the 'curly' tree about the 11th one down. What is it - do you know?

That's an Acer also Shirlwhirl. Now is just a bare curly trunk.
Went for a walk there today and a quick cuppa. Tied the dogs whilst I looked in the shop and after 5 minutes, lots of howling and singing from my tied to the fence pooches!
