Arley Station

Out in the leafy Worcestershire countryside, Arley is a lovely place for picnic, either the station, where there are a number of excellent spots, or by the river which is just 200 metres down the lane. A footbridge will take you over the river to the village and, after a short walk, you will arrive at Arley Arboretum.

Arley Arboretum

These beautiful historic gardens and arboretum dating back to the late 1700’s are surrounded by over 1600 acres of countryside within the picturesque village of Upper Arley beside the river Severn. In addition to providing wonderful walks through the grounds there are walks along the banks of the river, all set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside with far reaching views.

Go back in time and watch the Severn Valley Railway trains steam across the hill from one of the magnificent signposted walks.

The question is not really whether or not you go on, but rather how are you going to enjoy it?
