Autumn Colours .........

Enjoying a few days away in Yorkshire last week we were really surprised to see some of the trees were already turning colour - this is unusually early. We are told the Autumn colours will be spectacular this year due to the wet Summer. Can anyone please suggest a day out (within easy reach of Leicestershire) where the colours are worth seeing and photographing? We have been to Westonbirt (too far for a day) but could travel up to about 50 miles.

Anyone been to Batsford Arboretum in the Cotswolds? Is that nice?

Perhaps you have all gone to see the nicely coloured trees so no answers to my question? LOL :)
This is still in its infancy but is worthy or periodic visits to see it's development.

A bit far for us unfortunately. I saw a newspaper headline today which said we are due for an early, fierce winter so you'd better look out your long johns Ann.
I love autumn it's my favourite time of year. I've always fancied going to one of those woodland parks where you stay in a cabin. Going for walks during the day then snuggling up with a glass of wine in front of a wood burning stove at night. Bliss :)

You might be able to find somewhere near you on this site Anne.

Eccles - Thanks, been to National Arboretum last year, a very moving place. Will be great for Autumnal colours when trees grown in a few years time.

Tony - will look those two places up on Google, many thanks.

Anyone been to Batsford?
