Neuvic d’Ussel — from the meadow to the wooded park
The meadow gives a broad view of the water and the trees beyond. Further into the park, paths lead into denser planting and past individual specimen trees.
From the source
The arboretum at the Château de Neuvic d’Ussel in Corrèze grew from a nineteenth-century landscape park. Paths link sloping meadows, a pond and wooded areas. An orchard and a small garden beside the chapel form part of the visit.
Editorial reading
The estate describes a park arranged around the pond, with contrasting areas of meadow, woodland and orchard. The slope above the water helps explain the design. Looking back from the higher ground brings the open and wooded parts into the same view.
Recommendation
Check the estate’s seasonal opening dates before travelling. Begin by the pond, then continue to the wooded end of the park to look for the giant sequoia and the multi-trunk Lawson cypress.
