As temperatures cool after a summer of heatwaves, leaves across the UK are turning golden, transforming towns, villages and cities into scenes that look like something from a fairytale. With rich colours creating stunning and cosy settings, these are nine UK locations that are particularly beautiful to visit in autumn.
Castle Combe, Wiltshire
Many would argue that Castle Combe is the most beautiful village in England, and it is a true display of why the Cotswolds is considered such a stunning area with important English heritage. In autumn, the changing leaves add an extra charm to this old English village, making it look like something from a fantasy novel.
Rye, East Sussex
When autumn hits Rye in East Sussex, the streets turn into the front of a postcard, with hues of yellow and gold perfectly complementing the cobbled streets and old-timey storefronts.
Keswick, Cumbria
While Keswick itself is a lovely little Cumbria town with plenty of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, the true autumnal beauty is found in the surrounding Lake District. Keswick is a great town to base yourself in when exploring the region, and return to in the afternoon for some cosy pub grub.
Bath, Somerset
Bath's existing brown stone hues are perfectly complemented by the changing colours of autumn, adding an extra bit of charm to this ancient British city. During the summer, the streets are rammed with tourists. However, autumn is a bit more chilled out, and the vibe is a lot more cosy and wholesome.
