Enjoy the spectacular changes that autumn has to offer in the delightful landscaped gardens and extensive parklands of the National Trust. Watch the leaves turn from luscious greens, to golden yellows, vibrant reds and earthy browns, as they fall from the trees and crunch under foot.

Ideal places to enjoy an autumn stroll; look out for the warm autumnal planting schemes in many of our gardens and discover the fungi thriving in the undergrowth. It’s just as much fun for the children, with piles of fallen leaves to kick your way through and hundreds of conkers just waiting to be collected.

A great time of year for warming soups and hearty casseroles filled with squashes, suede, pumpkins, marrows, turnips, carrots and parsnips after the first frost. The orchards are bursting with fruit, with historical varieties of apples, pears, medlars and quinces. Why not indulge yourself with some delicious seasonal food in one of our tea-rooms or restaurant near you. There is just so much to see and do.
