The Arboretum, Historic arboretum in central Nottingham, England

The Arboretum contains over 800 trees from 65 different species spread across landscaped gardens with winding paths and ornamental water features.

Samuel Curtis, a notable botanist and horticultural publisher, designed this first public park in Nottingham, which opened to 30,000 visitors in 1852.

The park features protected structures including two aviaries from 1889 and 1934, plus a bandstand relocated from Nottingham Castle in 1881.

Four entrance gates on Waverley Road, Arboretum Street, North Sherwood Street, and Addison Street provide access to the park's network of surfaced paths.

The Grade II* listed park maintains its original Victorian design with period features such as the Tudor-style refreshment rooms built in 1852.
