Magic Colours of Westonburt

The Colours of Autumn

Yet again the National Arboretum 'Colours of Autumn' did not disappoint. On a crisp bright Autumn Sunday nature was ablaze.

Turning from green 

 to red

 

to gold

 

 Spot the Red Admiral :)

 

The Colours of Autumn

 

At this time of year there is little to compare with the colours at Westonburt Arboretum

After a rest 

 

it's time to depart via the new treetop walk

 

as the fairy woodland folk retire for the night :)

 

When Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall

It’s certainly turning into a classic autumn in our neck of the woods. Red Acers and Gold Beeches line the country lanes and fill the arboreta.  Saturday saw us at our favourite, WestonbirtArboretum.

Sunday took a long walk along the river Wye valley at Symonds Yat

To the left of the far side of the rickety bridge at Biblins campside you get great tea n cake with the view at the riverside cafe.




Back through Lords Wood to the river bank opposite the cafe and pub. The only way back across is by hand pulled ferry.

L'automne est arrivé

Westonburt Arboretum is undoubtedly one of the best places to view natures autumn colours - never fails to disappoint. Sunday was a near perfect autumnal day. Clear blue sky, nip in the air and trees bedecked in colour.

The Forest of Dean is equally colourfull with many interesting trails to explore.
