Things to do

Head out on a walk to see the glorious golds, reds and greens of autumn. From bracing hikes over windswept moorlands to gentle woodland walks, there are trails to suit all tastes.

Follow willow tunnels or make your very own woodland den in our natural play areas. You can also splash along muddy trails, hang onto rope swings and hunt for treehouses and bug hotels. Here's our pick of the best natural play areas at our places.

Put on your boots and walk through countryside full of fiery colour. Let your imagination run wild with tales of the mythical giants and dragons that are said to have roamed the ancient landscapes we care for. Kick up the leaves and go on a family adventure or wrap up warm and watch the stars.

Walk anywhere in the British Isles and you're never far away from a place of legend. Stop to look and you may notice a hunched outcrop, ancient stones or a ruined building with a tale to tell.

Ever wanted to run around the gardens of a Tudor manor house at night, or follow moonlit pathways through ancient woods and Georgian parkland? Head out for a run with a difference with a Night Run event.

What could be better than heading out as a family and exploring the countryside on two wheels? Our woods and parklands are perfect for little legs (and older ones too) to pedal around.

Whether you’re looking for a warming soup or the perfect scone, a place to relax with a cuppa or lunch with a view, our tea-rooms and cafés have got it covered.

The year might be winding down, but why not make the most of it with an autumn getaway? Whether you’re seeking an active half-term break with the family, or a peaceful retreat where you can stroll among the autumn colour, we’re sure to have the perfect holiday cottage for you.
