For this project you’ll need to find vibrant foliage, so head to a nearby forest or park. We visited the stunning Westonbirt National Arboretum, in the south-west of England – it’s one of the best-known arboretums in the country, famous for its collection of over 15,000 trees, some dating from the 1850s.
Autumn is a relatively short season in the UK – trees like horse chestnut start to turn brown in mid to late August, and it’s only a few weeks before the countryside is covered in crunchy brown leaves. If you want to capture autumn in all its glory, the best colours (in the UK at least) are to be found around the last week or two in October and early November.
