Autumn walk at Dyffryn Gardens
Witness the gardens transition from the lush abundance of summer to the rich rainbow of autumn on a self-led walk with a special autumn map.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
A free, self-guided autumn walk which will take in all the colours of autumn and the changes in nature that this lovely season brings.
As autumn progresses, what you’ll see on your walk will change depending on how the weather has been and when in the season you come - keep your trail leaflet and return throughout autumn to see how the gardens change as the year wends its way to a close.
The small plant labels which indicate you've reached a spot marked on the map will give information about the plant collection at Dyffryn Gardens. This year's Autumn Walk will be like strolling round an outdoor museum, with a beautiful living collection, marked for your notice with the species name and facts about why each plant is of special note.
While you're on your stroll you'll also see beautiful view point structures and sculptures, specially designed to help you see the garden in new ways. These are part of the Dyffryn Gardens autumn celebration, Fall into Autumn. Find out more about Fall into Autumn on the upcoming events page.
