What people love about England Tours in October
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
What an excellent tour for a nice price. I was little concerning about the rooms because I had no idea where we were going but every single room turned out to be beautiful with excellent staff. I enjoyed the kindness and patience of out guide (Hugh) who really went out of the was to make everyone happy and was very informative during the entire tour. He explained everything concerning the places we went with a nice sense of humor at each stop to keep everyone happy. We eat at wonderful places and Hugh gave us excellent places to go that did not dig into our pockets but had nice food with a friendly staff. I will definitely de using Rabbie's Tour again with tour guides that really enjoy keeping customers happy.
- 2-Day Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath & Oxford Small-Group Tour from London
Fantastic experience! Our driver/tour guide Samuel was the best! It was really a great time.
What our customers ask about England Tours in October 2025
What are the top historical sites to visit in England during October?
The cooler temperatures and thinner crowds of October create ideal conditions for exploring England's heritage sites. Visitors can walk the ancient stones of Stonehenge near Salisbury or explore the steaming pools of the Roman Baths in Bath. Windsor Castle's State Apartments and York Minster's Gothic architecture are particularly striking in autumn light. Places like the Wordsworth Hotel & Spa in Grasmere let travelers experience history firsthand while Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight offers peaceful autumn exploration. A TourRadar traveler review confirms: "Visiting Stonehenge and Bath in October was perfect - the crisp autumn air and smaller crowds made the experience so much more enjoyable."
What is the weather like in England during October?
October brings classic English autumn weather with daytime temperatures between 12-15°C (54-59°F) dropping to 7-11°C (45-52°F) at night. London and southern England typically stay warmer while northern regions like York experience slightly cooler conditions. One TourRadar traveler noted "The weather was perfect for sightseeing - cool enough to walk comfortably but not too cold." Rain showers are common especially in the Lake District and Cornwall making this an excellent time for indoor activities like museum visits or settling into a neighborhood pub.
What are the best places to see fall foliage in England during October?
England's autumn colors peak in October with several standout viewing locations. Kew Gardens in London puts on a natural show while the New Forest in Hampshire and Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire offer scenic walking paths through golden leaves. From bases like the Copthorne Hotel Manchester or Queen's Court Hotel Exeter visitors can explore nearby Heaton Park or venture into Dartmoor National Park. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The colors in Dartmoor National Park were absolutely stunning in October."
What special events and festivals can I experience in England during October?
October fills England's calendar with seasonal celebrations. The London Film Festival screens international cinema while the centuries-old Nottingham Goose Fair draws crowds with traditional rides and food. The Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace host atmospheric Halloween events. Theater performances in London's West End take on extra charm in autumn evenings according to TourRadar travelers. Local celebrations like the Falmouth Oyster Festival showcase regional traditions while York's ghost walks tap into the spooky season spirit.
What type of accommodation is recommended for England in October?
October visitors find comfort in properties that embrace the season's character. Historic stays like the Wordsworth Hotel in Grasmere or traditional village inns such as the Queens Head in Hawkshead provide warming fireplaces and seasonal menus. City alternatives include the Hampton by Hilton in Bath or Thistle London Marble Arch. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The Queens Head Inn provided the perfect cozy atmosphere for October evenings after exploring the Lake District."
How crowded are major tourist attractions in England during October?
October marks a sweet spot in English tourism when summer crowds thin but attractions remain fully operational. Visitors find shorter queues at major sites like Stonehenge the Tower of London and York Minster. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The October timing was perfect - we could actually enjoy St. Paul's Cathedral without the usual summer crowds." Hotels like the Royal Lancaster London or Indigo York provide easy access to attractions while avoiding peak season congestion.
What are the best outdoor activities in England during October?
The Lakes District presents prime hiking conditions in October particularly around Grasmere and Windermere. Walkers find quieter trails in the Cotswolds decorated with autumn leaves.
