WALKS, wildlife, pubs, foodie
celebrations, and half term fun: check out these seasonal experiences in The
National Forest & beyond.
Autumn watch – Be quick to
snap up Deer Rut Photography Tours at Bradgate Park and you
could capture dramatic shots as stags and bucks mark their territory in autumn
sun and mist. A park ranger will show you best spots for action. Bradgate have also
run throughout October guided walks during the rut and calving – a chance to glimpse
newborn red and fallow deer. These October deer park and ancient tree
walks bring autumn's secrets to life at Calke Abbey.
Crisp walks, cosy pubs – Now
is the best time to discover the National
Forest Way, with pub stops en route. Walk the
whole 75 miles between Beacon Hill Country Park in Leicestershire and the
National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, or grab a quick escape along one
of 12 stages (4–7.5 miles) showcasing diverse aspects of the forest. Catch a
bus if you don't fancy walking back!
