The forest has been named one of the best places in the UK for the 'ultimate autumnal scenes' according to a new study
A new study has identified a forest in the Lake District as one of the top spots in the UK for "ultimate autumnal scenes". Whinlatter Forest, situated to the west of Keswick, secured third place in a ranking of the country's top 10 parks and forests for viewing autumn foliage.
Known as England's only 'true' mountain forest, Whinlatter Forest is home to fir, spruce and oak trees. Rising up to 790m, it offers stunning views across Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Keswick, making it an ideal spot to observe the changing seasons. In their write-up about Marbury Country Park, the researchers noted: "The lime avenues exude grandeur in a celebration of this historic estate, which boasts Marbury Hall, Marbury Arboretum and a 15-acre nature reserve where wildlife thrives. A network of accessible, surfaced paths through the Northwich Woodlands, which sits within the estate, are suitably designed for walking, cycling or horse-riding through the autumnal foliage.
