September is the most popular time to visit Harewood, as the summer crowds begin to thin, yet the weather remains pleasantly warm. This period falls within the peak season, which runs from July to September, attracting those who wish to experience the lush landscapes and historic attractions in a more relaxed atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy delightful strolls through Harewood House's expansive gardens, or partake in outdoor activities like cycling and walking along the picturesque trails.
During September, temperatures typically range between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, providing comfortable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor exploration. The stunning autumn colours start to emerge later in the month, adding to the beauty of the surroundings and offering fantastic photo opportunities.
For those looking to save a bit on accommodation, November presents a more budget-friendly option. It's cooler, this month allows for a peaceful retreat where you can appreciate the tranquillity of Harewood without the hustle and bustle of the summer crowds. Plus, visiting in November offers a chance to experience local events and seasonal festivities that reflect the charm of the area.
