The Blackwater Arboretum, a short walk from Blackwater car park houses a beautiful collection of trees from many countries. The sensory trail encourages people to use their senses to discover the many different smells,textures and sounds of these trees. The path is a fairly smooth gravelled surface with one very gentle slope and frequent resting places. Short level paths with seats and picnic tables make this a pleasant destination in any season.
