A countryside walk after visiting one of Oxfordshire's top gastropubs seems like the perfect recipe for this Autumn season.
From today, which is the first offical day of Autumn, the nights will start to draw in and we might even feel a nip in the air.
But there is still plenty of time to enjoy the leaves changing colour and take in some of the best countryside walks that Oxfordshire has to offer.
We've put together a list that should help you get out exploring.
What are the best Autumn walks in Oxfordshire?
Blenheim Palace
We've already told you about some of the amazing things that Blenheim Place has in store for us this Autumn.
You can explore the palace's stunning grounds and embrace all things seasonal from this weekend.
There will be plenty to do with a jam-packed list of activities in Blenheim's walled garden, there is no chance that you'll be bored.
If you're looking for a more peaceful escape, there is also 2000 acres of picturesque parkland and formal gardens to get lost in.
Ticket prices vary with adults' tickets starting at £18.50 for the park and gardens and £29.50 to include the palace.
While childrens' tickets are available from £9.00.
A family of four (two adults and two children) can attend the festival from just £50.00.
For a full breakdown of prices, visit the Blenheim Palace website.
Warburg Nature Reserve
The Warburg Nature Reserve is one of Oxfordshire's favourite secrets, hidden away in the Chiltern hills.
Just four miles north of Henley-upon-Thames, you'll find a home to thousands of species of animals and flora and fauna.
It is a tranquil spot to enjoy the autumn colours away from the crowds.
And it's a lovely walk all year round since it is well known for its orchids during the Summer.
We recommend coming prepared- wellies and flasks and all- because there is no cafe at the Reserve.
If you're looking for somewhere to get off the grid and throw away your phone for an afternoon then this is it.
Harcourt Abroteum
Harcourt Abroteum never fails to deliver no matter time of year it is.
And let's just say if you love trees in Autumn then look no further.
Some of the oldest redwoods in the UK are here and it is only a 20 minute drive from the Oxford Botanic garden.
You are free to explore the stunning grounds or get involved in their Autumn fair which has English folk music, craft stalls and some great local produce on offer.
You can purchase a ticket or annual pass from their website.
Since they have limited parking, they recommend that you book a time slot on their website too.
White Horse Hill to Ashdown
Enjoy the Autumn colours as you walk the Ridgeway from White Horse Hill to Ashdown.
Fair warning, this is 'bit more of a workout more than a wander' but if you're up for a challenge it is well worth it.
If you start at White Horse Hill, you'll get to see some breathtaking views along a historic part of the 87-mile long ridgeway.
We recommend taking a look at the beech trees at Wayland’s Smithy which is just a mile and half away from the White Horse Hill car park.
