The best places to see Autumn Colours in Dorset 

Many places are closed because of Pandemic, but nature walks always welcome you. Try turning off your phone and forgetting about your Instagram profile for a few days or even hours. It's time to give yourself a break, synchronize with the rhythms of nature and restore health and peace of mind. It's even more important now, wile Covid on up on us with lock down, money worries and missing our family. There are a lot of things to do, listen to and feel, including trees, embracing with which will allow you to reconnect with living reality and absorb it with all 5 senses. 

Dorset is a great place for autumn walks, allow you to breathe deeply and detox yourself with aromatherapy by inhaling the smells of soil, tree bark, mushrooms and leaves. This is my 5 best walks in Dorset:


  1. Weymouth Beach

With long, well kept promenade, Weymouth always looks sunny and inviting.  Directly influenced by its position along the south-west coast of England, Weymouth's climate is fairly warm mild autumn weather. There are rarely any major significant variations from the annual weather expectations in Weymouth and seasonal climate trends are quite predictable. Weymouth regularly experiences the best weather and climate in the whole of the country, averaging around five hours of sunshine each day, throughout the year. It's no surprise that this is my favorite walking place.

2. Littlebredy & Walled Gardens

Little Bredy is a small picturesque village at the head of the Bride Valley 6.5 miles from county town Dorchester.  The River Bride tumbles down a waterfall from its spring, fed by a lake in the grounds of Bridehead, a mansion at the centre of the village estate. From the road through the village you can walk through the churchyard to the sparkling lake and waterfall. Lovely 5½ miles walk is beautiful and tranquil


3. The Commoners Ways, Corfe Castle

The Commoners Ways is a stunning circular walk which starts and finishes in Kingston, near Corfe Castle. One of the highlights of the walk has to be the views you get of Corfe Castle over the valley and in Autumn especially, looking down into the valley is a sight to behold!

4. Osmington Mills

Osmington Mills is a coastal hamlet and It lies within the civil parish of Osmington 5 miles northeast of Weymouth. A short walk from Bowleaze to Osmington Mills, an important geological site, the walk takes the SW Coast Path to Osmington Mills before going inland to visit the picturesque village of Osmington with its charming cottages. Glorious views across Weymouth Bay from the coast path, rich meadows, hills and valleys and quiet woodland paths, all combine to give a taste of wonderful and varied Dorset countryside.

5. Lulworth Cove

As an excellent hike on a weekend break in the UK, the 1.25-mile walk from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door begins out the back of the Lulworth Cove parking. A wide well-marked path slowly rises almost 400 feet to the top of the cliffs. This easy walk captures all the best bits of the towering limestone cliffs, natural arches and magnificent views.
