Westonbirt–Autumn Colour

21st October

Decided to head out to Westonbirt for the day to see the autumn colour. It was very busy when we arrived, but they were clearly well set up for it with extra parking and extra food trailers.

There was definitely an oooo around each corner, with some spectacular trees.

and hundreds of photo ops combining spectacular foliage and cheeky imps…

It was really busy, but fortunately it was dry and we were wrapped up warm so we sat outside for lunch. I then popped along to a trailer selling coffee and cakes and brought us all back hot chocolate and brownies.

The girls then had a play at the play area.

Before heading out to the new half of the arboretum. This was the section that dogs were allowed in and was really busy on the main drags. It was beautiful, but certainly a little less relaxing than our morning stroll.
