Picture a serene green oasis in the heart of Bentonville — a 6.5-acre native woodland garden that doubles as a public park and event venue. This peaceful retreat, home to a diverse collection of native plants, is quickly gaining recognition as a regional destination. The park also honors Dr. Neil Compton, a physician and naturalist celebrated for his efforts to preserve the Buffalo National River. In addition to its natural beauty, the site features a conference center ideal for meetings, seminars, retreats, weddings, and more. The woodland garden is also available for tours, events, and even film or commercial photo shoots, making it a versatile space for both relaxation and creativity.

La Grande Soufrière is an imposing volcano located in the Guadeloupe National Park and the tallest peak in the Lesser Antilles. It is still active and has erupted several times in the last few centuries, and is thus dotted by numerous hot springs, mud pools, and fumaroles, which can be explored on the approximately 2-hour hike to the top.

The narrow-gauge railway is Sweden’s longest historical treasure. The Hultsfred-Västervik line was finished in 1879 and was in service until 1984. During the summertime, you can once again experience the sensation of riding the 50s-style orange-n-gold railcars. A trip that stretches over 70km, from the forests of Småland in the west, past lakes, through small communities and agricultural areas out to the archipelago in the east.
