Photography trips to the Fens Photographers always rave about the colours of the natural environment during the autumn period. This is a great time to practice those photography skills, with the trees turning golden brown and the autumnal light perfect for capturing great shots. Autumn is all about colour. Take some time to photograph all the different colours of the leaves as they transition from the summer greens to the autumn browns. Try taking your photos early in the morning or early evening to get the best light – the ‘golden hours’ of photography, where the rising and setting of the sun adds an extra golden bit of magic to your shots. Plenty of UK routes will see you immersed in nature, if wildlife photography is your passion, then head to places like the Fens, where the wildlife, together with the autumn hues can make for some spectacular shots. Encompassing an area of 400,000 hectares, The Fens stretches from Lincoln and Boston in the North, Cambridge to the South and Peterborough to the West. A Cultural Trip to Stratford on Avon If you fancy a bit of culture at a time that is much quieter than the peak season months of July and August, then Stratford on Avon is a beautiful place to visit. From the various canal boat bases at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, you can cruise the Worcester and Birmingham Canal onto the Stratford Canal down to one of the UK’s most important cultural areas, mainly celebrated as the birthplace of playwright William Shakespeare. Stratford is home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre as well as The Shakespeare Birthplace, the site of Shakespeare’s family home in Stratford-upon-Avon for the last 19 years of his adult life. Just before Stratford, the canal passes through the tiny village of Wilmcote, where you can stop and visit Mary Arden’s house. The historic half-timbered Tudor farmhouse was home to Shakespeare’s mother before she was married.
