  • This countryside walks feature is part of our 'autumn in the countryside special' which features Helen Rebanks. You can watch the full interview here on the Farmers Guardian YouTube

The weather is cooler and the colours of the countryside are slowly changing. It is the perfect time to get out and take a stroll.

Blicking Hall, Norfolk

A picturesque walk through this 4,500-acre estate, it is the Great Wood taking centre stage with a mix of English oaks, groves of beech and ancient sweet chestnuts.

Nant Gwynant, Gwynedd

Walk through some rather historic landscape, past the slopes of Snowdon and the Nant Gwynant valley on this trail that ends up at Craflwyn Hall.

Glentrool, Galloway

Walk through the woods and past the tranquil Loch Trool - you can also look out for Bruce's Stone, commemorating the battle of Glentrool between Scots loyal to Robert the Bruce and the English forces.

Aysgarth Falls 

A triple flight of picturesque waterfalls, The Aysgarth Falls are surrounded by green woodland and farmland, located at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. William Wordsworth and John Ruskin are amongst those who have appreciated this Yorkshire gem, attracting visitors for more than two hundred years.
