We have a fine Heritage Trail through the Gardens with almost 30 points of interest taking you down to the Kelvin Walkway and into the Arboretum.
We have a Tree Trail that leads you through a waymarked trail of the Gardens and Arboretum.
For younger children we have a Minibeasts, Birds and Trees of the Botanics which is a waymarked trail that is aimed at young families.
Brochures supporting the Trails can be found in the Kibble Palace.
The Friends also offer free guided Tours open to the public. Please view the Tour page to see the current schedule.
