If you go down to the woods this summer, you're sure of a time-twisting surprise!

Visitors to Westonbirt Arboretum can take on an escape room-style challenge in the Silk Wood, solving puzzles and unlocking boxes to travel through time along its newest activity trail. 

The new Escape Time at the Arboretum trail is made up of different challenges, designed to take you back to different chapters in Silk Wood's past. The only way back to the present is to solve the puzzle at each location...

Make sure you pick up all the clues to crack the final code and make it back home!

This unique trail is suitable for everyone aged nine and over, with leaflets available to collect in the Welcome Building. Silk Wood is also a dog-friendly area of the arboretum, so four-legged family members can take the trip through time with you!

While you're there, don't miss the family summer trail, Green Games at Westonbirt, which covers the Old Arboretum and Silk Wood, too.
