<p>A family-run biz with over 40 years&#8217; experience under its belt, John Osborne planted his first trees in 1982 alongside his main job as a forester. Now, with his wife and sons, he grows over 60,000 different varieties each year, supplying homes as well as hotels, pubs, and even churches. Head to the woods by Colerne airfield for these fresh trees or branch out to Rode and Glastonbury in Somerset.

Cosy up afterwards with a mince pie and hot drink in the Farm Shop and Tea Room. Open Weds from 10am-5pm, Thu &#8211; Sat 9.30am-5pm, and Sun 10am-4pm.</p>

<p>At this time of year it&#8217;s perfectly reasonable to be spotted slinging a spade in the back of your car at all hours.

If you don&#8217;t feel up for that though, you can still buy a cut one at the estate, or order from their <a href="https://charltonparkestate.com/product/christmas-trees/">online shop</a>. Open daily from 10am-4pm.</p>
