The famous Westonbirt Arboretum is an amazing place, if you're into nature and trees, this is the place for you. The best time to visit is in the Spring and Autumn months, but its open year round and hosts concerts in the warmer months and light festivals in the winter. A must see, plus its very close to Tetbury, another stunning Cotswold town.
