Where is best to see the autumn colour in Suffolk?

The autumn equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn and this year it will be on September 23. 

Autumn is often paired with the red and orange colours of the leaves in the trees. 

Here are five places in Suffolk where you can see the autumn colours, perfect for a snap on Instagram.

1. The Place for Plants Garden & Arboretum, East Bergholt

Visitors are welcome all year round to view their extensive range of plants.

The trees show off their autumn hues and the fruit trees sweetly scent the air. 

You can even buy plants to see the autumn colours from your own garden.

2. Nowton Park, Bury St Edmunds

Nowton Park is known for having more than 100,000 daffodils in the springtime but there is still plenty of things to see in autumn.

There's a maze in the shape of a stylised oak tree and a unique aboretum which is home to trees from countries like Australia, China and North America. 

3. Christchurch Park, Ipswich

Christchurch Park is believed to date back to the Saxon times and has many Grade II listed aspects for you to see. 

There are multiple places to admire the changing autumn colours such as the arboretum, the mansion, or even just strolling around the park.

4. Alton Water, Holbrook

Alton Water is great for action-seekers wanting to see the change in colours. 

There's an eight-mile cross country track you can walk or cycle around, or perhaps you could sail, kayak or paddleboard on the water. 

There are 400 acres for you to explore - and there are even some Highland cows for you to say hello to. 

5. Old Railway Walk, Sudbury

The Old Railway Walk is lined with hundreds of trees scattering fallen leaves across the path.

It a perfect autumn picture linking Long Melford and Sudbury.

There are a variety of walks to choose from including alongside the River Stour.
