Visit Dorset for Autumn Colour

Not wanting to wish away the summer, but looking ahead a little to autumn in case you want to plan your autumn break, this week we thought we’d share a few of the best places to see autumn colour in Dorset.

Lakeside Gardens, Sherborne Castle – “one of the finest examples of Capability Brown you will see.”

Minterne House, an English Heritage Garden with sensational autumn colours, open until 9th November, and open every day from 10am to 6pm.

And here are some areas of broadleaved woodland that can be relied on to produce wonderful displays of glorious autumn colour:

• Thorncombe Wood and Duddle Heath near Dorchester


• Fifehead Wood near Shaftebury


• Powerstock Common Reserves


• Duncliffe Wood west of Shaftesbury


• Lewesdon Hill, the highest point in Dorset

Why not book ahead and book an autumn break for you and your family or friends in one of our stunning eco-friendly self-catering apartments? There’s nothing quite like an autumn stroll or hike through all the beauty of autumnal colour to inspire and invigorate. And at the end of your walk you’ll love returning to your warm and inviting apartment at Chesil Beach Lodge, and settling down with a hot drink or glass of wine to enjoy the panoramic views over Lyme Bay from your apartment windows.

We offer a warm welcome and a sustainable holiday in the beautiful county of Dorset, so please contact us and find out more about our eco-friendly self-catering accommodation in Dorset.
