As the leaves begin to change and the longer nights draw in it makes a great time to explore some of our timeless nature before the seasons change again. Here we show you 9 reasons why you should pack up your bags and book your autumn break to Wiltshire…
Stourhead
These iconic National Trust gardens are at their peak during the autumn months with rich golds, yellows and reds appearing in the trees. Look out for guided autumn estate walks and call Stourhead’s ‘leaf line’ to hear updates on the colours.
Misty landscapes
Head to a high point and watch the low lying morning mists prevail across our landscape.
Take an autumn walk
Whether through the Savernake Forest, near Marlborough or around Shearwater Lake, near Warminster. There are some top walks to enjoy this autumn.
Catch the reflections along the Kennet & Avon Canal
This tranquil water way is another popular choice for an autumnal day out. Stroll along the tow path, hire a canoe or pop into one of the canal side pubs and cafes for a warming drink and a spot of cake!
Check out the views from our golf courses
Whether at the North Wilts Golf Course (pictured below) or within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Rushmore Golf Club, why not enjoy a game with stunning surroundings?
Kick up those leaves in the New Forest National Park
Perfect for nature lovers, the New Forest National Park offers many an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Pop your wellies on and kick the fallen leaves about. See if you can spot the New Forest ponies or any of the pigs sent out for the annual pannage.
So, with lots of beautiful vistas, walks to enjoy and many a great photo opportunity don’t forget to check out places to stay where you can extend your visit to our county.
