Glamping places in the UK for spectacular autumn walks

Cosy glamping with autumn lake views

The stunning scenery of Loch Katrine in the heart of the Trossachs comes alive with colour in the autumn. While you could take a steamship across the lake, the best way to embrace the season is to hike the five-mile eastern shoreline walk, where oak and birch leaves blanket the ground and dramatic mountains rise in the background. Autumn enthusiasts will love the mix of lakeside views, colourful foliage, and crisp, clean air.

Stay nearby at Rowan Cabin, a luxurious lakeside glamping hideaway overlooking Loch Venachar. Curl up by the crackling wood burner after long walks, sip mulled wine on the deck, or explore the surrounding unspoilt countryside and nearby lochs.

Forest glamping retreat amid England’s largest woodland

Kielder Water and Forest Park in Northumberland is home to England’s largest forest, which bursts into a spectacular technicolour display in autumn. Walking trails like Lakeside Way let you explore the forest at your own pace, while stargazers will appreciate the Gold Tier Dark Sky status and Kielder Observatory events.

Holly at Hesleyside offers the perfect autumn retreat, with a wood-fired hot tub to soak in as you watch the light change across the trees, enjoy cosy interiors with a warm fire, and return each evening to comfort after a full day of scenic walking. It's a true woodland escape for autumn adventurers.

Tree-top glamping with woodland walks

The world famous landscape gardens at Stourhead in Wiltshire are a living work of art, especially in autumn.

Stay at Solstice Yurt, perched in the trees on Scotland Lodge Farm, with swings, hammocks, and a firepit to relax after exploring. The highlight is the “hot trough”, a cleverly repurposed cattle trough warmed by a wood burner, perfect for soaking while leaves tumble from the trees. Glamping doesn’t get cosier than this.
