In Hampshire, there are many places where you can experience the soft beauty of the autumn landscape. We look after acres of ancient woodland at The Vyne, Mottisfont and Hinton Ampner. Follow one of our downloadable trails through these natural ‘cathedrals’, under rich gold and russet canopies.
An autumn woodland glowing with colour and rich with the smell of damp earth is a wonderful place to be. National Trust Ranger Chloe Bradbrooke suggests six mini wonders of nature to look out for on an autumn woodland walk.
With the help of bat surveys and specialist conservation techniques that even feature endoscopes, we're introducing more wildlife back into Mottisfont's woods. Find out how, and what you might see on a walk through the estate this autumn.
There’s a wealth of beautiful and unexpected things to see at our places this autumn. Mottisfont’s new exhibition explores the glamour of the Sixties through photography. At Uppark we’re cleaning the miniature contents of a famous dolls’ house. An evening tour at The Vyne will take you into medieval cellars and ancient attics.
This autumn, Mottisfont’s kitchen garden celebrates its first anniversary. This beautiful space embodies the property’s medieval and productive past. Its cloister-style pergolas are smothered with hanging gourds and twisting vines. Raised beds are bursting with produce, destined for the café. There’s pretty floral colour too. Everything you see is culinary, medicinal or edible, designed to inspire children and adults alike.
Discover grand mansions and servants' quarters, an atmospheric Victorian fort and a very special chapel with murals by Stanley Spencer. Just some of our places in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
From intimate gardens in romantic settings to ancient parklands filled with magnificent trees, you'll find a variety of beautiful landscapes to enjoy at our places in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
