Default Westburg? (on country file last evening)

Anyone watch country file last evening and catch the name of that
rather nice looking foresty place full of jap. maples and such like
(inc a strange birch)?
It sounded a bit like west-burg. No idea where though, missed that bit
entirely.

Westonbirt Arboretum not far from Cirencester. I was there two weeks ago,
fantastic autumn colours, but too many people visiting on a Saturday :-)
Photography became a bit of a problem.
