Dalby Forest
 

Colour rating today: going yellow going yellow
The reds of wild cherry and red oak leaves. The yellows of ash, silver birch leaves and larch needles. The browning oak and beech leaves.All contrast with the blue green needles and red trunks of Scots pine. Add to this the intense colours from toadstools such as the red and white spotted fly agaric or the bright yellow larch bolete and you have a forest not to be missed this autumn. Great walk around Staindale Lake and Haygate with views over the valley.

How to get there:

Thornton-Le-Dale is the nearest town or village.

Access is via Thornton le Dale on the A170 Helmsley to Scarborough road. Watch for brown tourist signs. Access is also possible from the north of Scarborough via minor roads through Hackness and Langdale End.
