UK meteorological autumn - places to visit?

DormouseAtRest_25

During UK meteorological autumn - do you have favourite ideas of places to visit?

In the UK, Meteorological Autumn;

begins on: 1 September, and

ends on: 30 November.

Sometimes, as autumn arrives; I can find myself needing a bit of an excuse - to prompt me into venturing outdoors to visit somewhere interesting (while the weather holds reasonably fair).

As draft plans begin to formulate, I look out for some potential prompts - to visit somewhere beyond my local neighbourhood:

- National Trust (England) "Heritage Open Days" (2025) take place:

between Friday 12 and Sunday 21 September.

"Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture offering free access to heritage events and activities across England.

There are thousands of free in-person events running across the country with a wealth of hidden places and stories to discover."

www.nationaltrust.org.uk/.../heritage-open-days

(With other events in the UK:

- "Open Doors Days" in Wales,

- "European Heritage Open Days" in Northern Ireland, and

- "Doors Open Days" in Scotland).

- UK Autumn Equinox - Monday 22 September (19:20 BST) 2025.

- UK Michaelmas: Monday 29 September 2025 (some.market towns hold a Michaelmas Fair around this time of year.

What / where are your autumnal favourite places to visit?

  • If ya’ll ever feel brave enough to cross over to the USA, Vermont is gorgeous in autumn. Beautiful deciduous woodland mountains, great food, lovely people. Probably not much to do, but it’s still a great place. I went to school there and have nothing but good things to say about it.

    Betws-Y-Coed in North Wales is beautiful at this time of year, all the tree's in thier autumn glory, lots of conkers too.

    It's bird change over time too, the summer visitors are leaving and the winter visitors just arriving. I saw a curlew yesterday, they're here all year round, but we don't see them as much in summer.
