Where are the best places for autumn colour?

The estate walk

Follow the estate walk around the outskirts of Greys Court and find yourself surrounded by the orangery-reds of the Beech Trees as their leaves change colour.

The top lawn

If it’s a warm, sunny, autumn day the top lawn is an ideal place to sit, rest and take in the impressive views across the rolling Chiltern Hills.

From this vantage point you can enjoy a panoramic view of an array of autumn colour.

The Arboretum

Liquid Amber, Acer and Arbutos trees can all be found in the Arboretum, bursting with autumn colour.

Liquidamber is a famed autumn colouring tree from the USA where it’s known as the sweet gum. In late summer the leaves turn a deep black crimson colour, then as autumn progresses they go through a kaleidoscope of colours - golden yellow, amber and red.

Acer trees display a vibrant red colour as their leaves change towards the end of September.

Facilities

At the end of your autumn walk you will find the toilets, shop and tea-room all located nearby each other. Stop off in the tea-room for a warming drink and slice of cake, or pop into the shop to see what treats you can get for yourself or a friend.
