Autumn is one of the most spectacular times in the Lake District. A wonderful mix of red, gold, orange and purple light up the hills and valleys. It is usually more peaceful too, particularly during school term time.
Check out our places to visit and things to do pages for suggestions of activities. Wrap up warm and explore all that the Lake District has to offer.
The Buttermere Valley is particularly beautiful at this time of year. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility, amazing views, woodland and rare wildlife, it is well worth a visit.
Most activities throughout the Lake District remain fully open until the end of October (double check before visiting)
