1. Kilpisjärvi, Finland
Kilpisjärvi is a tiny village located in the north of Finland on the Norwegian border. This peaceful village is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy the Northern Lights and ruska (autumn colours) simultaneously, in an area of untamed natural beauty.
Home to Finland’s highest fells, Kilpisjärvi is also one of the best places in the world for Arctic treks. It is a land of untouched wilderness where reindeer herds roam freely beside glassy lakes – perfect for nature lovers and photographers.
Located near the Arctic Ocean, it is also where three countries meet – Sweden, Norway and Finland.
2. Credenhill, Herefordshire, UK
Credenhill Park Wood is a local landmark with historical and environmental importance and is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Special Wildlife Site.
The site includes 13 hectares of ancient semi-natural wood. Walk along the tranquil paths among the trees and spot rare small leaved limes, early purple orchids, and fragrant wild garlic.
The Iron Age hill fort that is an integral part of the site is one of the largest hill forts in England. It is thought to have been an Iron Age tribal capital. The walk to the top is well worth it, exploring the nature found within the woods along the way.
At the top, you will see views across to Wales. Soak up the autumnal landscape and let your imagination take you back to a time gone by. Read More…
