As autumn sweeps across the British countryside, our woods<\/a>, moors and mountains<\/a> transform. The vibrant greens of summer begin to mellow; the trees flush a hundred shades of orange, red, gold and yellow, and the hillsides bronze with fading bracken and heather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Autumn is one of the best times of year to be out walking in the British countryside. It\u2019s also a wonderful season for dropping into a cosy, country pub; somewhere to rest weary feet, to refuel your body, and to warm up by a toasty fire. So, why not combine the two for the perfect autumn day out?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve gathered some of our favourite walks in the UK for experiencing autumn colour, from rusty-hued riverside rambles to brilliant beech woods, each starting, ending or pausing midway at a traditional country inn.<\/p>\n

The River Teign tumbles off windswept moors, swirling and carving through a spectacular gorge overhung with crooked oaks and beeches. The fresh autumn air invigorates the soul, while the peace is occasionally broken by the chilling bellows of a stag ready to rut.<\/p>\n

Take an autumn walk from Castle Drogo to the Fingle Bridge Inn<\/a>. The route passes through Piddledown Common and Fingle Wood, a one of England\u2019s largest woodland restoration projects.<\/p>\n
