Langley Park Temple Gardens and Arboretum Circuit

Start on the pedestrian path at the northern end of Langley Park's main paid car park, beside the Tea Room. This short circuit links the Temple Gardens, the open parkland vista and the arboretum edge. Allow around an hour to an hour and a quarter, including stops to look at the gardens and trees.

Head west from the car park and turn north into the Temple Gardens. Follow the established outer paths through the rhododendrons, then turn left at the upper path junction to return towards the temple viewpoint and vista. The rhododendrons usually flower from April to June; at other times, the mature trees give the gardens their character.

Follow the public path southwest across the parkland beside Kings Wood towards the arboretum. Turn southeast along its public boundary path, passing the Destination Deadwood area, then turn north up Verney's Walk. Continue back to the Tea Room and car park. Follow the country park paths and keep out of the adjoining private grounds.

The route is largely level, with gentle garden slopes and a mix of stone tracks, earth and grass. Loose stones, roots and muddy patches need care after rain. Keep dogs on leads in the Temple Gardens and arboretum, as the park signs require.

The Tea Room and toilets are beside the start. Parking is paid and the car park closes seasonally; check the entrance board before setting off. Do not park on Billet Lane. Choose daylight and follow any signed temporary diversions.
