Best in autumn: the dawn redwood is deciduous, and its foliage turns a foxy copper-red before falling — often the finest time to visit.

About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Harcourt Arboretum is the University of Oxford's woodland collection, about six miles south of the city near Nuneham Courtenay. Its giant sequoias are among the older examples in Britain, dating from the arboretum's mid-19th-century North American conifer plantings, and it also holds coast redwoods and a number of dawn redwoods that turn a rich brick-red in autumn. Paid admission.
