Leaf peeping season starts early this year

With over 20 million trees across 200 square miles, the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean put on one of the best autumn shows in the country - and this year the colour is arriving early.

Our 50-mile scenic drive with ten hotspots for autumn colour remains the best way to see it, whether you drive the whole route or pick a shorter section and pair it with a pub lunch along the way.

Ask us on arrival and we'll point you towards whichever stretch suits your plans best.
