Instagrammable Autumn locations

Trust us, the whole family will be amazed by the colours and sights of autumn, whether it be the golden leaves or the long lingering light and shadows - autumn never disappoints as one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. If you're more on the side of preferring summer, we've hopefully got some medicine below that will give you some stunning colours from the best shots and sights of Autumn. Remember - we always love seeing your photos so be sure to tag us in any autumnal photos you take!

Penshurst Place

Before the invention of cars, visitors to Penshurst Place would've arrived at the estate via an avenue of trees along the headland, as the house comes into view. Today, the sight is still as wonderful as the 48 acres of parkland turn their colours from green to gold and the formal gardens get ready for winter. For instance, venture on the 1 kilometre Woodland Trail, or if you're feeling particularly adventurous, take  Regional cycle route no. 12 from Penshurst to Tonbridge through the Wealden countryside, and get the train home!

Bedgebury Pinetum

When you think of autumn, the first thing to come to mind is the trees changing - the colour bringing a last-minute bit of life to the otherwise quickly disappearing leaves, and one place not to miss in autumn is Marshal's Lake at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest. Take a seat and enjoy the complete autumnal colour palette from the rich rusty swamp cypress by the water's edge and get up close to the deep red bark of dawn redwoods. Top tip: Turn left after crossing the bridge at Marshal's Lake and hidden away on the left you'll find a bench. Take a moment to enjoy the stunning display across the lake.

Gusbourne

While the grapes may have been picked, the vines are fully alive with colour in the autumn in our vineyards in Kent. If you want to try the wine as you go on a wander, you'll be able to colour match just like this picture of Gusbourne, and be sure to take a bottle home with you so you can continue to keep the autumnal vibes going right through to winter, if you can keep it that long!

Biddenden Vineyards

With lines and lines of vines adorning the fields, Biddenden Vineyards is a stunning place in autumn. With the grapevines changing colour, the parallel channels provide stripes of yellow and golds that make our Instagram feed pop. Harvest is in full swing in autumn and we cannot wait until this year's vintage appears in the shops!

Perry Wood

This stunning woodland near Faversham has a plethora of panoramic views, with them stretching toward the countryside the coast. Inside the Perry Wood, there are plenty of trails to follow which lead you to autumnal views everywhere, including full and golden-rich ones such as this.

The North Downs

In Kent we are surrounded by countryside and running right through the backbone of the county are the North Downs. Whether it's a the open grassland or the patches of forest that sit in the chalkland, we know it's the place to get your autumnal shots. Be sure to head out in the golden hour (the hour or so before sunset and the hour around sunset) to make the most of the low sun and the way it enriches the colours, just like the shot on the left.
