Find charging points near stunning autumn displays

Go

We’ve gone all ‘seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness’ here at bp pulse, thinking of the dazzling autumn displays that can be found across the UK, as woodlands treat us to one last burst of colour before winter.

If you love an autumn walk and a handy charging site nearby too, here are a few ideas to inspire you. A quick note – all the following chargers are rapid or ultrafast, please do double check your bp pulse app for charger availability. You can also filter by connector type, speed and see any locations you've saved as favourites.

1. Stourhead Gardens, Wiltshire

Justly famous, the ancient woods and Palladian architecture are particularly breathtaking in autumn, with all the red and golden colours reflected in a beautiful lake.

Nearby EV charging: We have 150kW chargers at Salisbury SF Connect, Downton Road, SP2 8AR.

2. Dove Crag in the Simonside Hills, Northumberland

Enjoy vast, far-reaching views across the heather moorland, while juniper and birch trees glow red and yellow in this stunning Lake District fell.

Nearby EV charging: We have 50kW chargers at Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa, Roman Road, CA16 6JB.

3. New Forest, Hampshire

Walk through blazing ancient woodlands, heathlands, and golden and red foliage, while spotting wildlife such as deer and ponies.

Nearby EV charging: We have 50kW chargers at Rhinefield House Hotel, Rhinefield Road, Brockenhurst, SO42 7QB.

4. Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire

Known for its diverse and colourful tree collection, here the Japanese maples, oaks, and other species create a mesmerizing tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows.

Nearby EV charging: We have 150kW chargers available at Hardwicke SF connect, Bristol Rd, Hardwicke, Gloucester GL2 2RQ.

5. Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire

In autumn, the rolling hills and valleys glow gold, red, and orange. You can enjoy scenic drives, walks, and explore charming villages – well worth a visit.

Nearby EV charging: There are quite a few conveniently situated charging points on the outskirts of the National Park, depending on where you’re driving from. To start you off, we have 50kW chargers at Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa, Roman Road, CA16 6JB, approximately 40 minutes drive from the middle of the park – but do check your bp pulse app for other chargers, too.

Hopefully you’re feeling fired up to explore the UK and see some gorgeous autumn displays with your loved ones. And remember, now the weather’s getting a little nippier, why not spend a few minutes reminding yourself how to maintain your EV (and its battery health) in cold weather. And while you’re out and about, remember you can enjoy 50% off a lovely hot chocolate or your favourite coffee (and other hot drinks) at participating Wild Bean Cafes.
