Autumn's colour palette of reds, oranges, yellows and golds sweeps across the countryside from the end of September, through October, November and into early December. From spectacular woodlands to hills, arboretums and waterways, discover the best places in the UK to see autumn colour.
Forests and woodlands are an obvious place to start. It's hard to beat the sense of magic that you get when you walk beneath the kaleidoscopic canopies of oaks, beeches, birches and sycamore. Look for chestnuts on the floor and squirrels and jays in the branches above. British parks, arboretums and gardens are also great places to visit in October and November, with many boasting statement trees that come into their own at this enchanted time of year. Britain is one of the best places in the world to see the falling autumn leaves as they change from bright green to a kaleidoscopic spectrum of red, orange and yellow.
Grasmere in UK is often called the jewel of the Lake District — and it's easy to see why. During the autumn months, why not take a walk around the glistening lake and soak up the glorious changing colours. This lakeside stroll has fairly level ground, and should only take around two hours to complete.
