Colours of Autumn in the Cotswolds
Tour Overview
6 hours (Available Early October – Mid November 2025)
During autumn the region transforms into a patchwork of warm golds, fiery reds and rustic browns, with honey-stone cottages framed by tumbling leaves and winding lanes edged with trees in full seasonal splendour.
During your tour, you’ll enjoy a stop at Batsford Arboretum, one of the finest collections of trees and shrubs in the UK. Here you can wander through avenues of maples, oaks and acers as they showcase their dazzling autumn display. A truly stunning sight. You’ll also pause at the renowned Daylesford Farm Shop, where autumn produce is at its best. Explore seasonal delights, from freshly harvested vegetables, artisan cheeses to homemade chutneys, breads and sweet treats – the perfect taste of the harvest season.
At lunchtime, relax in a traditional Cotswold inn, where a comforting seasonal menu awaits – think hearty pies, warming soups, or perhaps a glass of local cider to toast the harvest. After lunch, continue your journey through charming market towns and villages, perhaps browsing local shops for handmade crafts or simply soaking up the golden views that surround you.
Whatever your preference, we’ll help ensure your autumnal Cotswold experience is truly unforgettable.
Please note: The exact timing of the leaves turning can vary with the season.
