Autumn breaks in the Cotswolds

Autumn Colours in The Cotswolds
Autumn in The Cotswolds is like stepping into a painting. The rolling hills come alive with fiery reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges. Whether you’re driving through the countryside or taking a leisurely walk, every twist and turn offers a new view that’s nothing short of breathtaking. Grab your camera—this is prime Instagram territory!
Perfect Time for Long Walks
Crisp mornings and fresh air make autumn the perfect time to explore The Cotswolds on foot. With fewer tourists around, you’ll often find yourself walking in peaceful solitude, accompanied only by the crunch of leaves underfoot. Popular trails like the Cotswold Way and Winchcombe’s circular walks are just waiting to be discovered. Don’t forget to stop and admire the views—they’re even more stunning with autumn’s colorful touch.
Cosy Pubs and Seasonal Treats
Feeling peckish? The Cotswolds is famous for its cosy pubs, and autumn is the season to really enjoy them. Picture yourself by a roaring fire, enjoying a hearty meal made from the region’s seasonal produce—think roasted root vegetables, hearty stews, and maybe a slice of apple pie to finish. Local farmers’ markets are bursting with fresh autumn ingredients too, perfect for cooking up something delicious back at your holiday cottage.
Explore Historic Cotswolds in Autumn
The Cotswolds’ history feels even more enchanting in the autumn. Imagine exploring grand manor houses, ancient churches, and charming villages with a backdrop of autumnal color. Wander through the gardens of Hidcote or Snowshill Manor, where the leaves crunch beneath your feet, or take a walk through quaint towns like Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water as they bask in the warm hues of the season.
Autumn here is our favourite time of the year for a whole variety of reasons. Things aren't quite as busy as the summer, autumn colours are amazing, cosy pubs with lovely log fires going and planning starts for Christmas!
The lakes are stunning and the hot tubs on our deckings are even more inviting!
