Autumn in the Lake District, Cumbria

Autumn in Cumbria sees the county undergo a beautiful change in scenery. The sweeping valleys turn to shades of orange, yellow and gold as autumn begins to take hold of the countryside, making for some truly spectacular views.
 
The outdoors is still a welcoming playground, perfect for long walks in the mountains; cycling through the forest; or even a dip in the lake, where the waters cling to the last of summer’s warmth.
 
This is foraging season and the best of local produce is on show, with festivals celebrating the harvest and plenty more besides. With our restaurants, pubs and cafes making the most of local, seasonal produce, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the Cumbrian larder in all its goodness.
 
It's also a wonderful opportunity to experience our dark skies: they’re some of the darkest in the country, and a Dark Skies Festival celebrates their magical wonder in November.
