Inspired by the autumn beauty of Britain
From Dartmoor to the Lake District, there are many beautiful and interesting places to visit throughout the UK. There is no need to board a plane when so much beauty surrounds us. If you’re looking for some inspiration, a great place to start is DK Eyewitness’s Great Britain Travel Guide. The recently updated guide is packed with great ideas and amazing pictures to get you excited about staying in the UK.
Perthshire is known as a large tree country, with about 25 species of trees, including Scots pine, silver birch, hazel, ash, and oak. While it’s a beautiful place to visit all year round, Fiscally Wood really delivers products for autumn shows.
Created as a “model forest” in the nineteenth century, it is full of beautiful specimens that point to the trail-blaze walk in October. As night falls, the wood is transformed into an enchanted forest through twinkling lights and music performances.
The ancient forest of New Forest National Park covers an area of more than 50 square miles. Discover the strong redwoods planted in the late 1850s, as well as alder, beech, sweet chestnut, and other varieties. Take the long tree tail under the luxurious conifers on the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive – this is one of the best places to experience the bright array of autumn colors, just in time for the New Forest Walking Festival in October.
Don’t miss the huge 500-year-old Nightwood Oak on Boulderwood Ornamental Drive near Lindhurst and watch the pigs roaming the forest floor in search of the park’s famous wild ponies as well as green acorns.
Escape from the city and soak up the rich colors of autumn by walking or cycling around Richmond Park, while the park’s ancient oak leaves turn deep orange. It is a national nature reserve, the largest of London’s royal parks and three times the size of New York’s Central Park. You’ll probably enjoy seeing some of the wildlife in the autumn leaves Richmond Park is a deer park since 1637, and 630 is freely populated with red and fallen deer.
