As the days shorten and a crispness fills the air, North Yorkshire transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of gold, amber, and crimson. This year, the autumn tree colours are set to be more spectacular than ever, and there's no better place to experience them than from the comfort of a holiday cottage at West Leas Farm.
Brilliant Woodland Walks
Imagine starting your day with a brilliant woodland walk right from your doorstep, crunching through fallen leaves and breathing in the fresh, earthy scent of the forest. In the evenings, you can return to the warmth of a cosy cottage, a welcome reward after a day of exploring. For a truly luxurious autumn experience, sink into a private hot tub under a blanket of dark, starlit skies, a perfect way to relax and unwind.
Enjoy the Region's Autumn Beauty
West Leas Farm is perfectly positioned for you to discover the very best of the region's autumn beauty.
Take a short drive to explore the magnificent ruins of a floodlit Fountains Abbey, wander among the dramatic rock formations of Brimham Rocks whose autumn light trail is not to be missed.
A visit to the charming market towns of Pateley Bridge and Ripon are also well worth the trip.
