Lichfield Trent Valley is the closest railway station and is five miles away. Lichfield City, although further away, is located close to the bus station and provides better public transport links.

Many of our visitors prefer to book a taxi directly from either train station to complete their journey to us:

City Cars (01543 254 999) and Ambassador Taxis (01283 544 700 /  www.ambassadorexecutivecars.co.uk)   offer special pre-booked taxi rates for Arboretum visitors.

Although we do not have an on site bus stop, a daily bus service (number 12) operates between Burton upon Trent and Lichfield. The closest stops can be found in Alrewas Village (roughly a 20 – 30 minute walk away).

A suggested route for those wishing to travel by bus is:

Take the 12 bus for around 30 minutes before leaving the vehicle at Wellfield Road, Alrewas, outside of the Alrewas Royal British Legion building.

With The Royal British Legion on your right, walk up the footpath next to the slip road and over the A38.  Having crossed the slip road, take a left and walk downhill alongside the A38 slip road on the footpath. Continue walking until you are opposite the petrol station (on the opposite side of the A38 carriageway). Take the right onto Croxall Road. Continue walking, over the railway line, along Croxall Road. You will find the Arboretum on the left after around a 1/3 mile.
