A locals guide to Autumn dog walks in the Cotswolds 🐾

Golden leaves, muddy paws, quiet country lanes and a cosy pub waiting at the end. Is there a better way to spend an autumn day?

As locals, we know some of the loveliest walks are found away from the busiest beauty spots. So, if you’re looking to explore a little further this season, here are eight beautiful places to discover across the Cotswolds, including a few tucked-away North Cotswold favourites.

🍁 Dowdeswell Woods — a lovely woodland escape just outside Cheltenham, with leafy trails to explore.

🍁 Cranham & Buckholt Wood — beautiful beech woodland, winding paths and golden autumn canopies near Painswick.

🍁 Woodchester Park — a secluded wooded valley, historic parkland and lakes, just south of Stroud.

🍁 Standish Wood & Haresfield Beacon — woodland rambles followed by far-reaching views across the Severn Vale.

🍁 Chedworth Woods — discover the quieter side of the Coln Valley, with ancient woodland and peaceful countryside paths.

🍁 Norcombe Wood, near Blockley — a wonderful North Cotswold option for a woodland wander surrounded by beautiful countryside.

🍁 Upton Wold & the countryside around Blockley — rolling hills, rural footpaths and wide-open views for those who prefer a longer countryside ramble.

🍁 Cirencester Park’s Broad Ride — tree-lined avenues and beautiful seasonal colour, ideal for a gentler autumn stroll.

A little local advice? Pack your wellies, take a towel for muddy paws and leave time for a cosy pub stop afterwards. Keep dogs under close control around livestock, stick to public rights of way and check local access guidance before setting off.

It’s these quieter corners, tucked-away villages and beautiful countryside paths that make the Cotswolds such a special place to visit. 🤎

Save this for your next autumn adventure and follow for more local insight into life in the Cotswolds. 🐶🐾

🎃🍂 Pumpkin season, cosy fires and all the magic of autumn at Jolly Nice Farmshop…

There’s something rather special about this time of year in the Cotswolds. The crisp autumn air, golden leaves underfoot, little hands searching for the perfect pumpkin and the irresistible smell of something delicious cooking over an open fire. 🤎

At , pumpkin season is an experience to savour. Think 🎃 pumpkins galore, ☕ hot chocolates by the fire in the café and bar, 🌭 hot dogs sizzling on the fire pit, and a farmshop filled with seasonal treats to take home and enjoy.
