Our grounds are beginning to show off their October colours, with beautiful shades of orange and green appearing around every corner.

It’s one of our favourite times of year at The Upper House – crisp mornings, changing leaves and all those gorgeous autumnal touches that make our gardens feel that little bit more special.

If you’re visiting us this October, be sure to take a wander around the grounds and enjoy them for yourself.
