Westleton Heath
This gorgeous Suffolk walk is home to a blanket of luscious lilac heather. It has paths galore through woods and over streams, along board walks and through moorland. You might even be lucky enough to spot groups of deer on the heath!
Stourhead
This is one of the most celebrated sites for autumn colour, located in the Southwest of England. On a fresh, sunny day you’ll be able to catch the sunlight glistening through the trees, making the foliage even more fiery. A tour of the grounds takes you up through beautiful woodlands to King Alfred’s Tower, built in 1772.
Glen Affric
Tucked away in the Scottish Highlands, you’ll find a forest through the ancient woodlands of Glen Affric. It’s home to shimmering lochs, rugged mountains and one of the largest remnants of the pine forest that stretches 30 miles.
Llangollen Canal
As you wander along the Vale of Llangollen, take in your surroundings of the crisp orange and yellow hue of Wales’ autumn trees. The dramatic arches of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct will leave you breathless. Then, end your day with a peaceful pit stop in the quaint village of Llangollen itself.
The Dark Hedges
This compelling avenue of beech trees was planted in the eighteenth century to impress visitors as they approached the Stuart family Georgian mansion. Two centuries later, the walkway remains a magnificent sight, especially during the autumn season.
