Autumn Dog Walking Inspiration

Enjoy Autumn Colours On Dog Friendly Strolls

The Forestry Commission has recently declared that autumn has come early this year with many parts of the UK already starting to enjoy autumn colours throughout forests, parks and woodland.

The Forestry Commission has put together its Top Ten Spots to enjoy the autumn colours and, great news, they are dog friendly too!

 Top spots include:
  1. Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire 
  2. Friston Forest in East Sussex
  3. Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent
  4. The Wye Valley in the Forest of Dean
  5. Salcey Forest, near Northampton
  6. Maulden Woods in Bedfordshire
  7. Grizedale Forest, Cumbria, North West England
  8. Castle Neroche near Taunton, Somerset
  9. Bolderwood, New Forest
  10. Mendip sites, Somerset 
This year you can also follow how quickly woodlands are changing colour using the Forestry Commission's interactive online autumn colour map. It’s easy to find the best colour near you, as each wood is rated from green to golden. As the leaves change colour visitors can leave comments and rate their local woodland.

Why don't you add your autumn photos to the Forestry Commission's facebook page or send a gorgeous autumn e-card to your friends and family?  Check our the new autumn website pages at www.forestry.gov.uk/autumn
