Autumn Walks

A walk through the gardens and wider estate is the perfect way to take in all of the seasonal colour at Anglesey Abbey. Don't miss the vibrant russet tone of the hornbeams on Jubilee Avenue, the abundant colours of beech, alder and sycamore that surround Temple Lawn, or the burst of colour from the trees on either side of Quy Water - perfectly reflected in the water on still days.  As you walk through the trees between the Winter Garden and Lode Mill, you'll find a delicate carpet of pink cylamen.

You can find two walking routes, which take in many of the autumn sights in the gardens on the Anglesey Abbey visitor map.
