Brantwood Gardens...... Autumn Colour

As the flowers of summer fade, the colours of autumn take over. Brantwood gardens have plenty of colour to offer at this time of year. The natural deciduous woodlands and the warm colours of the acers provide a whole range of colours.

Beautiful natural fencing in the gardens.

Up in the woodland garden a high canopy of autumn colour.

The paths glow with colour all around.

The acers add tones of red.

Even the hydrangeas add colour interest.

The oak and bracken create a golden glow. Watch out for The King of The Golden River!

Grasses surround the pond of leaves.

The leaves from the acers carpet the footpaths.

The views from the house and gardens are magnificent and ever changing.

A view of the mountain garden, with Coniston Old Man beyond.

Just beyond the Brantwood estate, worth the walk up towards Lawson Park for this splendid view down Coniston Water.
