This autumn there’s a beautiful display of seasonal colours waiting to be discovered across landscapes looked after by the National Trust.

Autumn is full of opportunities for adventures and is one of the most stunning seasons of the year for exploring, with hundreds of walking trails to choose from.

The conservation charity is inviting walkers to escape into autumn and enjoy days out together.

Whether you’re looking for a colourful woodland walk or a bracing coastal hike, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and connect with nature.

Witness nature’s colour palette in its full glory - from beautiful browns and fiery reds, to vibrant oranges and golden yellows.

As well as trees putting on their annual display of autumn colours, walkers can enjoy pathways bathed in golden sunlight, strolls along fruit-laden hedgerows, misty morning walks, afternoons spotting weird and wonderful fungi, and watching for wildlife in beautiful landscapes.

To celebrate the season and inspire days out together, the National Trust has picked Peckover House and Garden in Wisbech as one of the top places and pathways for the best autumnal walks in Cambridgeshire.

The garden at Peckover House is open until the end of October, from Thursday to Monday each week, 10.30am to 4pm, with the last entry at 3.30pm.

Peckover Garden really comes to life during this month with a flurry of autumn colour. You will be able to take a stroll down different garden paths and look out for scurrying squirrels and a friendly robin, as well as beautiful rose hips.

Late flowering herbaceous plants, including asters, salvias, and cannas, should still be in full flower during this period and stunning autumn leaves can be seen from the Tulip and Ginkgo trees.
