Love the idea of this. Not sure if I have ever seen anything like this before ~ a cathedral made of trees. You got to love the variety of the National Trust. Great atmosphere. We came when it was raining and still had a super time. What lovely benches of the carved animals/things; acorn, eagle, rabbit, owl and hedgehog(see pictures). Children and dogs loved running around here. We found parking alright. Would recommend a visit.

This is place is magical. It's like stepping away from everything around you. I didn't intend to stop here but I saw the sign saying Tree Cathedral and turned round as became intrigued. I am glad I did. It's tucked away with a small carpark. The gravel road to get to it is bumpy. But worth it. You step out and got through the gates and it's like a maze but it's just so.peaceful and quiet and such beautiful flowers. Must be super hard to maintain bit they have done a fantastic job. I didn't want to leave.

Lovely place to walk..... It does get very boggy at times.

It's a lovely place to visit and usually quite peaceful. However, the accessibility is awful from the road which is like one big pothole, to the carpark which is currently very muddy in places, to the field leading up to the Tree Cathedral (a bit boggy so wear wellies), and even inside the actual Tree Cathedral itself. All entrances are incredibly muddy and difficult to navigate. Beautiful once inside however.

Looking for a place of peace and tranquility, then the tree cathedral is just the place.

Fantastic place to visit in a walk from Dunstable Downs. Trees were planted in the shape of a cathedral. Benches with animals carved out if wood at each end to sit on. I'm sure we saw an owl flying in front of us. Great place for kids to play hide and seek.
