The National Trust is offering 101 ways to enjoy autumn in Wiltshire and the surrounding areas.

From October 5 to November 10, Stourhead, in Wiltshire, will host an 'autumn spell trail' where visitors can help the Oak King find the missing words for his autumn spell by listening to the stories of trees.

The trail is designed to be accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

A free drop-in potions class will also take place on October 26 and November 2, where visitors can brew their own potion.

Normal admission charges will apply for both events.

Stourhead is also inviting photographers to capture the garden at sunrise during the First Light Photography sessions on October 26, 27, November 1, 2, 8, and 9.

The sessions run from 7.30am to 9am and cost £10, which includes members. Pre-booking is essential, and normal admission charges apply.

Stourhead is famous for its North American-style autumn with flame red cypresses, golden yellow tulip trees, and pink-red dogwoods.

The National Trust suggests visitors to Stourhead follow their social media for weekly updates on the garden's changing colours.

For those who enjoy a more culinary autumn experience, the National Trust cafés across the South West will be serving seasonal dishes and drinks.

These will be made from plums, pumpkins, and apples in celebration of the harvest.

A bit further afield, at Devon's Buckland Abbey, visitors can enjoy the sights of Beach Avenue, which is filled with gold and orange foliage and offers views over the Tavy valley.

Those wishing to stay longer can book Cider Cottage, which sleeps four plus one dog.

For a more immersive experience, visitors can book a tour and tea tasting session on September 21 at 11am or 1pm.

The hour-long experience costs £25, and normal admission applies.

For those interested in wildlife, autumn is the best time to spot red squirrels as they gather nuts ahead of winter.

The National Trust also encourages visitors to look out for fungi during their walks.

A variety of British fungi can be found in the woods and parks, but the National Trust asks visitors to leave them where they found them and take a picture instead.
