  • Summer

    Take advantage of the beautiful summer weather by exploring all the wonderful examples of both native and exotic trees within the park. If picnicking on the vast lawns find some shelter from the summer sun within the rotunda.

    Autumn

    Autumn is an enchanting time of year, the season when the park looks its best and becomes a photographers dream. The many maple, ash, cedars, beech and birches in the park will provide a tapestry of colour and it should be on your list of things to see before they shed their leaves for winter.

  • Winter

    Wintertime in the heritage park is when the true growth of the trees is visible. The conifers and evergreens can display their beauty without interference from the sometimes more majestic deciduous species.

  • Spring

    The onset of spring see’s the Nobelius Heritage Park come to life with a magnificent display of colour from the variety of blossoms to the delicate soft green new foliage.
