Golden woodlands, quiet villages and cosy pubs. Autumn in the UK has a magic you do not get in high summer. In part one of our two part autumn special, three local experts share what really changes across September, October and November in the Lake District, the Cotswolds and Devon.

  • Lake District autumn colour hotspots including Tarn Hows and Wastwater
  • How September, October and November differ for weather, light and atmosphere
  • Walk ideas for non hikers and why low-level routes often win in autumn
  • Mountain Goat tours running through autumn, including the September-only Mountain Passes tour
  • The Cotswolds in the quieter months and why market towns suit autumn travel
  • Best timing for Cotswolds autumn colour, plus Hidcote and Batsford Arboretum
  • Harvest farm shops, local produce and Bonfire Night fireworks
  • Go Cotswolds autumn favourites, Oxford departures and the Bath Christmas market dates
  • Devon's tree tunnels, woodland colour and wildlife on Dartmoor and Exmoor
  • Cider, apple orchards, top farm shops and the rise of English vineyards
  • What stays open through autumn and when visitor hours start to shorten
