Autumn Holidaying in the UK

A stunning beauty falls upon the UK in autumn. The stirring sight of a British autumn forest, the richly varied colouring of the leaves that blow and rest upon the earth, will win the heart of any holidaymaker soaking in the season’s sensations.

Staying in the comfort of a hotel is always an option, however, to truly experience the Great British Autumn you need to become part of it.  Staying in a caravan offers holidaymakers the perfect balance between comfort, flexibility and having the option to immerse yourself in the colours, sights and sounds of this magical season first-hand.

Being equipped with a camera during an autumn holiday in the UK is vital. What is seen through the eye should be viewed through a lens and captured as memories to treasure. The spellbinding colours of the British autumn are a strong reason for the high regard it is held in.

Burned oranges, dark russets, harvest yellows and myriad browns create a heady visual extravaganza made up of mellow areas suddenly awash with bursts of colour. Rural locations are perhaps the best to head to for the full autumn experience, with red and amber woods, thickets and hedgerows teeming with life.

Dramatic autumn landscapes are bountiful across Britain. Whether you choose to visit moorlands, forests, rolling hills, mountains or the coastline, there is a rich plethora of sublime settings to make your getaway one to remember.

Another vital ingredient to the autumn magic is the wildlife. Parking your caravan in a woodland setting can be rewarding for amateur bird watchers as this season is a period of great change. While many birds migrate at autumn, others flock in. Rooks, crows and jackdaws fly to woodland roosts.

Fantastic natural sights range from the large to the small. Deer parks are a marvellous place to visit during the autumn, as this is the time stags develop their antlers to compete for mates. However, holidaymakers on country walks should look closer at their surroundings to spot small wonders. Spiders busy themselves with constructing morning webs, which represent fantastic photo opportunities.

Where exactly should a holidaymaker visit?  With the flexibility a caravan offers, why not travel around Great Britain and experience some of the amazing scenery on available?  Whether you choose the dips of Derby’s Derwent Valley, the dramatic Northumberland coastline and Lindisfarne Island, the magnificent walks of the Cotswolds or the delightful dells of Somerset, there are so many hidden experiences and secret sensations awaiting you.
