For the autumn lovers amongst us, holiday park operator, Verdant Leisure, has revealed the 10 best parks and forests for viewing the beautiful foliage of the season, based on the percentage of woodland in each spot, and the number of positive TripAdvisor reviews left in September, October and November.

As trees across the UK start to change colour, new research has revealed the 10 best places to enjoy autumnal foliage, and it has revealed Whinlatter Forest as the third best places to spot autumn foliage. 

Whinlatter Forest Park was beaten to the top spot by Culzean Country Park in Ayrshire and Moors Valley Country Park in Hampshire.
