My Bucket List for a Cosy Autumn in The Cotswolds
People often ask me what my favourite time of year in The Cotswolds is, and I find it a really tricky question to answer as every season offers something special; the sight of fresh baby lambs in spring, gorgeous wildflowers lining the lanes in summer, the stunning landscapes as the leaves begin to turn in autumn, the joy of a frosty sunrise walk in winter. Autumn truly is a wonderful time to be in the Cotswolds, and so whether you’re planning a visit or you’re a Cotswolds local, read on for some fabulous ideas of things to do this season!
Pick your own pumpkins
at Cotswold Farm Park, starting on 3rd October.
Learn how to cook seasonal ingredients to perfection
at Thyme’s Instinctive Cook class on 9th October; for £225pp.
Grab a chai latte
from Quince & Clover, our favourite cafe in The Cotswolds!
Go for a Sunday roast in a cosy pub
such as The Fox at Oddington, after a chilly morning walk passing through the Daylesford estate.
See the autumn colours
at Batsford Arboretum or Westonbirt Arboretum from the end of October and through November.
Head out on a spooky light trail
which begins at Blenheim Palace on 23rd October.
Go foraging
for blackberries, damsons, sloes, elderberries and rosehips; all of which can be used for baking or to make immunity boosting tinctures!

by attending a yoga and meditation retreat, led by a holistic wellness practitioner at Bamford.
Cosy up in front of the fire
with a tray of homemade mac & cheese.
