The arboretum, now public open space, forms the centrepiece of the Wych Elm Drive estate, built on the site of the Royal Midland Counties Home for Incurables. The arboretum was planted by John Hitchman, 19th century doctor and mad about trees, in the grounds of his hydropathic establishment. It has fine examples of Douglas Fir, cedars, Wellingtonias and other exotic conifers.
