Autumn days are a feast for all your senses, from crunchy leaves to pumpkin lattes from Harvest Festivals to afternoon walks through forest glades and canopies of golden trees to visits to stately homes and breath-taking formal gardens.
Welcome to the best time of year to rest, retreat, walk and eat.
Telford’s sunsets and sunrises are on fire. Tree-lined gorges glow in red, gold and ochre, their technicolour show reflected in the rivers and canals below. Paddle a canoe to the best seat in town.
A few weeks later, feel that wonderful crunch of leaves underfoot on an autumnal walk through the ancient woodlands. Fields and market food stalls heave with autumn’s bounty. The smell of wood smoke drifts across the countryside from cosy pubs and inns. Everything glows in that magical autumn light.
There’s a real sense of slowing down as autumn arrives here. The busiest creatures are the tiny dormice, bustling to get ready for hibernation. Along cobbled streets and medieval squares, window displays fill with artisan creations and plump gourds. Browse the shops then watch the world go by over nourishing soups, roasts and pumpkin lattes.
