ACCORDING to a new study by Hot Tub Hideaways, The Forest of Dean has been named the best location in the UK for autumn walks. 

The research, which used satellite imagery and digital colour analysis, identified the Forest as one of the top locations for its rich variety of autumnal colours, boasting over 378,000 unique shades of orange, yellow, and red. 

The company behind the survey, specialises in offering luxurious UK holiday properties with private hot tubs, often located in areas of outstanding natural beauty.
