Foxhill is set in 70 acres of Cheshire woodland, incorporating an arboretum containing several species of rare plants and trees. Part of the site is a designated area of outstanding natural woodland, and the vistas from the crest of the wood take in the Mersey Estuary and the Welsh Clwydian Hills.
The woodlands are open to all guests using the Centre (weather permitting). They give an opportunity for the keen birdwatcher to see woodpeckers, jays, buzzards and other birds of prey. Foxes, badgers and field-mice can also be spotted.
Some of the trees in the Arboretum are among the finest specimens in the country, and include specimens of birches, redwood, elm, eucalyptus, pines, ‘monkey-puzzles’ and a Gingko Biloba from Japan– often called the living fossil.
