Wiltshire Walking WeekendTwo days of stunning autumn colours in southwest Wiltshire, based at the cosy Spreadeagle Inn next to the world-famous gardens on Stourhead estate.
Saturday's walk took the group up the long ridge from Kingston Deverill to the wonderful panoramic viewpoint of White Sheet Hill. A descent from White Sheet to reach a well deserved pint of cider at the Red Lion at Kilmington and a walk through the parkland of the Stourhead estate to return to the Spreadeagle.
Sunday morning's walk took the group through the Longleat forest to reach the stunning viewpoint of Heaven's Gate, before returning to the Spreadeagle for Sunday lunch and then heading home.
This has to be the best autumn for leaf colour for many years and there are few places that see a better display than Stourhead and Longleat.
The food and hospitality at the Spreadeagle were excellent. The staff were invariably friendly and helpful - thanks for a great stay.
