In October, the beauty of the autumnal countryside is all around us, and there are lots of places in the UK that you can go to experience this. The Cotswolds is a fantastic place to go to experience the beauty of the autumnal countryside. It is a place that is very popular with tourists but is less busy during the autumn and winter.
With half term coming up, it is a great place to go for a week away enjoying the fresh air and a change of scene – there are lots of places where you can go with children in the Cotswolds area – you can even take a tour like these Cotswolds private tours https://cotswoldtour.co.uk/cotswolds-private-tours/ to explore.
Here are some of the best half term family friendly activities that you can enjoy at this time of the year in the Cotswolds…
WWT Slimbridge – The first site of Peter Scott’s wetland conservation initiative to be set up was WWT Slimbridge and it is a popular place for wildlife lovers. For families, there are lots of things to enjoy, from feeding the birds to welly boot land – the perfect place for toddlers to splash about!
Batsford Arboretum – In the autumn the beautiful changing trees are stunning, and at Batsford arboretum you can really make the most of the woodlands and enjoy a family walk through the forest.
Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway – If you want a trip back to a bygone era, the Gloucestershire Warwickshire steam railway is a great day out. Go through the Cotswolds on a steam train on a fun round trip.
