A palette of natural colour
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” – Albert Camus
Winkworth Arboretum, near Hascombe in Surrey, is always a lovely place to visit – but in autumn it’s absolutely spectacular.
Its creator, Dr Wilfrid Fox, wanted to ‘use plants to paint a picture’. So he spent more than 20 years doing just that, are today we’re all the beneficiaries of his vision.
Winkworth hosts more than 1,000 species of tree and shrub, and covers some 95 acres (38 hectares). Wanting to preserve his work for future generations, Dr Fox, a leading dermatologist, donated his arboretum to the National Trust in 1952, ten years before he died.
