In a bid to be more up to date with what is happening week by week in my life, I’m going to start doing a photo diary series. If you follow me on Instagram you will know where I am and what I am doing, but I find it takes me an age to share it on here. So, commence the photo diary series. I hope you enjoy them! I’ll begin with a taste of the UK in Autumn.
Last weekend we returned to Rutland, the smallest county in England. We first ventured here back in June and I absolutely fell in love with the place. The most postcard perfect villages, filled with rose laden thatched cottages. It was a dream. You can read more about that trip here. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was and quickly marked it as somewhere I wanted to return to in autumn and see it in in a different light. It is safe to say, it did not disappoint! The golden shades of fall were everywhere to see, making every corner a feast for the eyes.
These photos were captured in the small villages of Exton and Hambleton, just north of Rutland Water and only a ten minute drive from each other. Have you ever seen anywhere so beautiful?? I hope these images inspire you to visit here for yourself.
I would mention: I would highly recommend driving around Rutland as it is one of those counties that is far easier to get around with a car! Especially as a lot of the villages are quite remote. Don’t have your own car? Why not hire one for a day or two? Car rental is available from a number of companies. Find prices and availability here.

Looks lovely.
It is such a wonderful time to visit this area! It’s so picturesque 😍
It is absolutely stunning in Autumn 🙂
In answer to your question, no I don’t think I have seen anywhere so beautiful! Autumn in England is glorious.
It really is the most gorgeous place in the Autumn!! But yes you are right, just about everywhere over here is really pretty at that time of year 🙂
These are such gorgeous photos.. They really capture all that’s most beautiful about this season and almost make me forget about that constant rain 🙂
Ahh thank you so much Dee!! So sorry I have taken so long to reply back to you – I am ridiculously behind on keeping up to date on here but I shall try and post a lot more frequently. Glad you liked my images from Rutland 🙂 hope you’re well! x
So beautiful! Made me think of the movie “The holiday” which is also a great Christmas movie and I really wanna watch it again now that I think about it!
Oh my goodness I love that movie! I have to watch it every year at Christmas time 🙂
