Forestry England says the delayed autumn will be spectacular after a warm September.
BBC Radio Wiltshire reporterForestry England said a warm September has created ideal conditions for a "one-of-a-kind" mix of colours.
Savernake Forest near Marlborough has been recommended by outdoor equipment retailer Blacks as one of the top five places to enjoy an autumn hike. The forest's Grand Avenue features a long corridor of orange and red beech trees planted by famous landscaper Capability Brown.Heather Lilly, community engagement officer for Forestry England, said: "We're so lucky to have free access to so many woodland areas in Wiltshire and nearby.Image caption,The hopes for a better than usual autumn are prompted by the late September heatwave which extended the activity of chlorophyll.
Forestry England said the build up of sugars in the leaves help produce the stunning autumn reds, golds and oranges as they are absorbed back into the tree. Rainy weather in March has helped the leaf display as it provided plenty of moisture to the soil, prompting healthy and substantial growth.Colour changes in leaves take place as the days become shorter and evening temperatures cool, with the green chlorophyll in the leaves starting to disappear, exposing yellow and orange hues.
