The seven best places to see autumn colors in the UK
According to experts, the best time to take pictures is between mid-October and mid-November, when the colors are at their most vibrant.
"The colors start to change and the leaves start to fall from the end of September, depending on how long the summer sunshine lasts."
"The greatest period for guaranteed colors and amazing images is between mid-October and mid-November, as the summer is coming to a close on Sunday, September 22."
"To provide everyone the opportunity to experience what we believe to be the greatest season for landscape photography, we have chosen the top locations to observe autumnal colors throughout the entire United Kingdom."
Castle Combe, Cotswolds
This gorgeous region of England, located on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, is regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in the United Kingdom. It is a great area to visit during the fall season. Beyond the chocolate box settlement, lovely roads lined with trees stretch over the countryside in a blaze of gold and bronze starting in mid-October.
Richmond Park, London
Long treks through historic woodlands, across undulating hills, and through expansive grasslands teeming with wildlife may be found in Richmond Park, one of London's eight Royal parks and conveniently located near the city via public transportation. The roaring of the rutting season stags, surrounded by meadow grasses shining in mellow golds and leaves burning with seasonal colors, can be heard from mid-October to mid-November.
Lonscale Fell, The Lake District
On the Lake District's fells, one can observe one of the most remarkable changes in the fall scenery. Warm golden tones replace the bracken's vivid summer greens on the mid- to lower fells.
Admire breathtaking views of Thirlmere, Derwent Water, and the surrounding fells from a climb from Keswick.
Elan Valley, Mid Wales
Elan, a stunning region in the center of Mid Wales, is filled with wildlife and nature that comes alive in the fall. Wander around one of the region's dams or reservoirs for the best views of the striking fall hues reflected in the water.
All the information you need about treks and unique seasonal events is available at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre.
Glenfinnan, Highlands
A small, historically significant community in Scotland, Glenfinnan rose to international prominence as a result of its appearance in the Harry Potter movies. A train ride across the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which offers a singular view of rising hills, a deep glen, and brilliant October colors, allows visitors to follow in Harry's footsteps.
The Peak District landscape sparkles in a stunning radiance of copper, orange, gold, and russet as summer gives way to the chilly fall months. Curbar Edge is part of the 'Three Edges Walk', which offers breathtaking vistas and opportunities to see red deer and shaggy highland cattle.

The National Trust oversees Sheffield Park, which is well-known for its colorful fall display. The park features some of the most beautiful fall colors in the country and was first created in the 18th century by renowned landscape architect Capability Brown.
