The Cotswolds is a popular place to visit throughout the year, and during the autumn months it is a great time to visit and see the beautiful colours but with less crowds than the summer. To get to know the area, Cotswolds private tours like this cotswoldtour.co.uk/cotswolds-private-tours are a good way to explore.

Here are some popular places to walk in the Cotswolds…

Rococo Garden Painswick

This beautiful garden in Painswick dates back to the  1700’s and is a great place for a walk. Throughout half term there are also lots of activities that kids will enjoy too, such as the time traveller scarecrows for Halloween. If you are in the area from late November and throughout December, there are also enchanted evening light displays that you can go to.

Cleeve Hill

The highest point in the Cotswolds is Cleeve hill, and it is a popular place to go for a walk. With beautiful views over the whole county and beyond, it is also home to a large grassland which is a site of special scientific interest. You can also visit the neolithic long barrow, Belas Knapp which is near the summit.
