Autumnal foliage is best experienced with scenic walks along quaint villages, making the Costwold’s enticing landscapes ideal for this purpose.<\/p>\n
One of the region’s prettiest towns, Stow-On-The-Wold, has been crowned a top autumnal destination thanks to its patchwork of fiery shades, according to visitors.<\/p>\n
The destination was mentioned in a TikTok clip by the travel specialist @the wanderlust.blonde, who divulges travel tips to an audience of 181,300 followers every week.<\/p>\n
The clip, which lists The most\u00a0idyllic towns and villages in Cotswolds, was accompanied by the caption: “Autumn is the best time to visit all of them”.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the best known of the small Cotswolds towns, the market town of Stow-On-The-Wold is also one of the highest, perked on an 800-foot-high hill.<\/p>\n
It was once famed for its wool and became a hub for the industry, with as many as 20,000 sheep being sold at one time.<\/p>\n
In the autumn, one of the main attraction spots is the spectacular Japanese Maples dotted around the town, as well as the local church’s Yew Tree Door.<\/p>\n
The clip shows the entrance of Stow\u2019s St Edward\u2019s church, which dates back to the Middle Ages, housing elements from the 11th century to the Victorian period.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe north entrance has become one of the top things to do in Stow-on-the-Wold,\u201d according to Explore the Cotswold, and is rumoured to have inspired the Door of Durin in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.<\/p>\n

The Market Square is fringed with 16th-century golden stone buildings which now serve as house antique and interior shops and art galleries.<\/p>\n
Experts at Explore the Cotswolds say: \u201cSpring and autumn are quiet with good weather for walking, though pack a coat and umbrella in case of rain showers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clip, which was liked by more than 2,268 viewers, also listed an array of other spots to visit in the Cotswolds region, including Bourton-on-the-Water and Bradford-on-Avon.<\/p>\n
Several commentators agreed the destinations were worth a visit, with one writing in the comments: \u201cBourton-On-The-Water is my favourite place!!\u201d<\/p>\n
