Ready to wrap up warm and head out on an autumn walk? A breathtaking region is home to one of the country’s best.
The expert travel team at Holidaycottages.co.uk have named the UK’s best walks to see autumn colour this year.
The team recommended a 7.5 mile circuit taking in Tintern Abbey and the Devil’s Pulpit in the Wye Valley.
A spokesperson said: “The incredible ruins of the 12th century Cistercian abbey are breathtaking whichever season they are visited in.
“However, in autumn while it is scattered with auburn leaves, it makes a truly superb sight to see.
“At 7.5 miles, this is a moderately difficult walk for experienced hikers or for beginners who want to push themselves a bit further.”
Tintern Abbey was founded in 1131 by Cistercian monks but fell into disrepair after the dissolution of the monasteries during the English Reformation.
The Devil’s Pulpit is a rocky limestone outcrop and viewing point jutting out from the cliffs above the River Wye.
A tourist who visited Tintern Abbey said: “Visited the Abbey and gardens during the week. Great building, with a fascinating history.”
‘David V’ said: “A lovely abbey. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A gem out of the way with its lovely walled garden.”
‘Victoria S’ said: “Simply breathtaking! We loved the beauty and appreciated that they are preserving this magnificent place.”
