Take a stunning journey high above Kew Gardens with the new 18 metre high treetop walkway.


Treetops Walkway


The walkway opens to the public from Saturday 24th May and is a permanent feature of Kew Gardens.


Visitors to Kew will be able to take a breathtaking journey from the intricate root system of trees to the very top of the tree canopy.

The Tree Top Walkway

The 200 metre long walkway takes you underground to the Rhizotron where the trees root systems are explained with models, video displays and facts surrounding these huge organisms.


400 tonnes of steel was used to build the walkway


"I have had the privilege of being up in the tree canopy...It's fantastic that we are able to give visitors the same experience."


Tony Kirkham, head of Kew's Arboretum and Horticultural Services.
