Wrap up warm and head out into the winter landscape on a walk at one of the National Trust places in Warwickshire.

With trails through ancient woodland, bracing strolls across wild and windy hills, and frosty paths around historic gardens, winter is a truly special time to explore the outdoors. Even the rain brings its delights, leaving puddles for little wellies to splash in, and the early sunsets kiss the landscape with dreamy pastel hues.

For nature lovers, the colder months are a particular treat. Paw prints in the snow and mud tell stories of the animals that have padded that way, bare tree branches reveal woodland residents as they forage for food, and the frosty quiet showcases the crisp notes of birdsong.

Of course, no winter walk at a National Trust place is complete without a visit to the cosy tearoom to thaw out with a hot drink, warming bowl of soup or a seasonal treat.

So, grab your boots and head out for a winter adventure near you...
