In the rest of the garden you can enjoy the varied colours as the trees turn to shades of bronze, gold, brown, yellow and red. Enjoy the crunch underfoot as you walk around the perimeter, under trees and wrap up warm against the chill.
Looking down into the Bog garden from the terrace, use your nose as well as your eyes as it embraces the new season. Those with a good nose will pick up the smell of burnt toffee from the Cercidiphyllum japonicum.
In the orchard you will see trees dripping with fruit. We are often asked why we leave fruit on trees and on the ground in the orchard, and the answer is this: it's fantastic for our wildlife. Over winter this fruit will sustain birds, animals and insects whilst food is short over the colder months.
Bring the family
Bring your little explorers and share this special season together. Put on your wellies and kick up some fallen leaves in the Woodland Walk, or see how many bees and butterflies you can count enjoying the Asters. And if it's a rainy day, get puddle splashing!
Why not warm up in the Pavilion with a hot chocolate, or pick up a momento from the shop: a new scarf is just the thing for this time of year.
