Derby Arboretum, Public arboretum and garden in Derby, England
The grounds contain multiple botanical tree collections arranged along winding paths, with ornamental lodges marking the entrances to the eleven-acre park.
Joseph Strutt commissioned John Claudius Loudon to design and construct this park in 1840, establishing the first public urban park in Britain.
The arboretum represents the Gardenesque design principle, featuring educational displays of individual specimens and botanical collections for public learning.
Visitors can access the park through entrances on Rose Hill Street and Arboretum Square, with free parking available on surrounding streets.
The park houses several trees listed in the British Isles Tree Register, recognized by the Forestry Commission for their exceptional characteristics.
