Blog (Autumn) - Visit Wiltshire

Autumn in Wiltshire means crisp days, trees blushing red and orange and early-morning mists hanging over the fields. Time to get those walking boots on!

October is here, there's an Autumnal chill in the air and the spooky joy of Halloween is just around the corner...

Autumn is a wonderful time of year to be in Wiltshire - bright skies, crisp leaves and cosy country pubs. 

As nights draw in and the breathtaking autumnal colours begin to show, Wiltshire becomes a magical place. To make the most out of it here are our Top 12 things to do this October! 

This year is passing us by as the first week of September is nearly upon us! Soon it will be the time of year where we start to get winter clothes out of the loft, brush off our welly boats and collect firewood for the colder nights ahead.

After the best summer that Wiltshire, and the UK, has seen for a while, the seasons are starting to change, the leaves will start turning into tremendous autumn colours and Wiltshire will soon be getting ready for autumn, which means wellies and cosy jumpers.  As a county we’re fortunate to have such a beautiful range of areas and events to showcase autumn at its best. 

I love this time of year, especially the leaves falling from the trees mainly because I’ve been told, and still believe, that if you catch one and make a wish it will come true!
