7 Best Places to Visit in the UK in Autumn

7 Best Places to Visit in the UK in Autumn

For too long, we’ve mainly thought of travel in terms of summer. Everyone is quick to ask where you’re going over the summer, and surprised if you’re not taking a holiday during that period. But the UK is filled with incredible places to visit, too many to fit into just the summer months. Additionally, travelling outside of summer is more budget-friendly and ensures you avoid the crowds and traffic jams. So if you can travel outside of summer, then we strongly urge you to consider it!
