Few things are more quintessentially British than a picnic, and when paired with a road trip through some of the UK’s most iconic locations, it’s pure magic. Picture yourself nibbling treats on a Hyde Park blanket, exploring the woods of Winnie-the-Pooh, or imagining a Bridgerton scene in the rolling hills of Bath. I’ve put together a list of my own personal dream picnic destinations right here in the UK, each steeped in charm, history, and its own unique inspiration. So grab your hamper, a cosy blanket, and join me in dreaming of these picture-perfect picnic spots.

Something happens in September that I can't entirely explain. The light drops a degree or two and suddenly everything looks like it's been edited — golden, warm, slightly melancholy in the best possible way. The farm shops fill up with cider apples and pumpkins and the kind of root vegetables that make you want to cook something slow.
