Hebden Bridge in Autumn is my second favourite colour. 🍂✨🐿️🍁 This West Yorkshire town has that charming, cosy vibe of places that feel like they could be Autumn all year round. A British "Stars Hollow", where Lorelai weaves around the local artists and market stalls on her morning hunt for coffee. 🍂 For the best autumn foliage, head to Hardcastle Crags. It's enchanting at this time of year. 🥾 For Calder valley views, grab your boots and walk up to Stoodley Pike. 🐑 For an easy walk without the crowds, drive ten minutes to Widdop Reservoir. 📚 For book lovers, the town of Haworth (famous for the Bronte sisters) is thirty minutes away and always decorates for Halloween. 🎃 For Halloween lovers in Hebden, check out the themed window displays of the shops in town. (The Bookcase has my favourite this year!) 🛌 For birthdays, don't leave your bed and spend the weekend in a depression slump instead. 🥮 ☕ And on rainy days, head to any of the cute cafes or pubs and soak up the charm. #HebdenBridge #VisitYorkshire #ExploreUK #CalderValley #YorkshireLovers

We spent the perfect day at Farmer Copleys for their iconic annual Pumpkin Festival, and it did not disappoint. We started the day fueled by some incredible street food, before heading straight out into the massive fields to hunt down the perfect pumpkins. With over 40 varieties, our wheelbarrows were full in no time! But the highlight had to be unlocking our competitive sides, we went all out with some paint balling and axe throwing. If you’re looking for the ultimate mix of cosy autumn vibes and high-energy adventure, this is your sign to grab your favourite people and book a trip before the season ends. Slide 1: The mandatory wheelbarrow shot Slide 2: Fueling up on festival food Slide 3: Mid-axe throw focus Face Slide 4: The pumpkin patch aesthetic 📍 Farmer Copleys, Pontefract, West Yorkshire 📅 Running until 1st November 2026 #FarmerCopleys #PumpkinFestival #YorkshireDaysOut #AxeThrowing #PumpkinPicking

Where do I start with Hardcastle Crags in Autumn? An absolute gem of a place to watch the seasons go by. 🍂🍁🪾 At first glance, this might seem like another Autumn woodland walk, but with its riverside trails, quaint stepping stones, little waterfalls, and old stone bridges, there’s something genuinely magical about Hardcastle Crags in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. ✨🍄 🥾 One of the highlights here is Gibson Mill, which is beautifully reflected in the adjacent pool on a still day. There’s also a lovely cafe here, where you can sit inside or outside overlooking the river. ☕ 🥮 It’s also dog friendly, and free besides parking at the National Trust car park. 🐶 📍 Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England, UK #HardcastleCrags #autumnwalks #VisitYorkshire #Yorkshire #ExploreUK

🗺️ 📍 Bolling Hall, Bradford It’s no secret that living right on Haworth’s doorstep makes it easy to see how much of an internet sensation it becomes for spooky season! 🍂 While it’s absolutely wonderful to see the high street booming, as a local, it can get a little overwhelming at peak times🫣 So, I took it upon myself to find a hidden gem to visit this spooky season... 🕵️‍♀️ Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bolling Hall! 🏰 Steeped in history, this incredible manor dates all the way back to 1086 (it's even mentioned in the Domesday Book!) and is the oldest house in the city. It's even home to the most haunted room in Bradford (the ghost Room) although we felt quite safe in there. The building itself is stunning and completely FREE to enter! 🎟️ We spent over an hour walking from room to room and taking each one in. The staff were marvelous and so eager to share stories and first-hand spooky experiences they’ve had right here 🕯️ They also have brilliant half-term activities lined up making it a perfect spot for little ones, big ones, or just a peaceful solo date 🎃 Honestly, we were almost the only people there, which made me quite sad. While I loved having a private tour, it's these local spaces we need to keep alive. We’d all be gutted to see them close, yet we forget to visit them. After the hall, we walked through Bowling Park, and that alone is worth the trip. The entire place is an autumn treasure trove with each tree turning and glowing in the golden sun and so incredibly peaceful. 🍁☀️ We finished off by popping into the beautiful @thelodgecafebowlingpark right in the park for the perfect cozy end to a beautiful autumnal day. We had hot pumpkin spice lattes and a toasted teacake. This place was a welcoming community hub and had so much to offer we can’t wait to come back and try more seasonal treats after a crisp walk! ☕🍰 My local West Yorkshire people this is your sign to visit this wonderful hall, park, and coffee shop and treat yourself to an almost free autumnal day out! 🍂 We can’t wait to come back and see it all again at Christmas! 🎄

Spent some time at the Piece Hall in Halifax with my grandparents last weekend, got to see the Scarecrow Festival which was good seasonal fun! 🍂🎃📸 The historic Piece Hall in Halifax, dating back to 1779, provided a wonderful setting for the Scarecrow Festival. This magnificent Grade I listed building was filled with creativity as independent traders displayed their imaginative scarecrows throughout its historic galleries. Visitors could explore the unique displays, support local businesses and enjoy the friendly community atmosphere. A fantastic celebration of Halifax’s heritage, creativity and community spirit, bringing history and fun together in one unforgettable setting. #PieceHall #HalifaxScarecrowFestival #DiscoverHalifax #LocalHeritage

If you love Autumn as much as I do, you have to visit Haworth in Yorkshire during the Fall... 🍁 Bonus points if you visit on Halloween 🎃 👻 Once home to the Brontë sisters and now home to a ton of cute cafes, restaurants, and independent stores that lie along the picturesque, cobbled Main Street, Haworth is a contender for the most beautiful West Yorkshire town. 📚 Ready to discover Wuthering Heights in Haworth? For lovers of all things books and Brontës, visiting the Brontë Parsonage Museum is a must-do. 🥾 I also love hiking across the Yorkshire Moors to the Top Withens and Brontë Falls 🧙 And if you only visit one shop, make it The Cabinet of Curiosities 📍Haworth, West Yorkshire, England, UK #Haworth #Yorkshire #VisitYorkshire #BronteCountry #VisitEngland

Autumn menu at one of my absolute favourite spots in Leeds 🍂☕️ If you have followed me for a while, you know I LOVE Savvy Baker. It’s one of my favourite places in Leeds, ten times better than any chain and honestly one of the best spots for matcha in Leeds, but this time I fancied switching things up and going for coffee instead 🤎 We tried a few bits from their autumn menu and, of course you can’t not get a brownie now and they were unreal as always. You genuinely can’t go wrong with their sweet treats! What we ordered: - Cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk latte 🥮 - Brown butter honey latte 🍯 - Brownie box 📦 Such a cute spot for a coffee date, a little autumn treat or just an excuse to get out and do something! ✨ 📍 Savvy Baker, Leeds - @thesavvybaker_ Savvy Baker Leeds, best matcha in Leeds, Leeds coffee shops, Leeds autumn menu, Leeds cafes, Leeds brownies, Leeds foodie spots #Leeds #LeedsFoodie #LeedsCoffee #LeedsCafe #YorkshireFoodie

In a world full of AI and information overload, this is your reminder to start asking yourself: What do you want to do? What do you think? What feels right to you? This was supposed to be a simple Reel saying, "Come with me for a canal walk and coffee." But everything changed earlier this week. I was researching local routes along the Leeds Liverpool canal and noticed Thursday was going to be the warmest day. It brought me so much joy (One of the side effects of anorexia is that I really struggle with the cold, so a warmer day is everything to my body 💔) As I looked up paths, I suddenly found myself on an AI page. The algorithm started telling me all the reasons I shouldn't go on Thursday. It told me to opt for Friday instead because it would be sunnier and better for "creating content" and "footage." My heart sank. I went to bed questioning my own choices. I woke up on Wednesday thinking, “I guess I better put it on hold then.” I felt genuinely sad. Deep down, I knew this walk was exactly what I needed to bring myself a little joy. Then it hit me WHAT?!?!? I caught myself. What are you doing, Katherine? Since when did a computer dictate your life choices? It scared me. For myself, for my children, and for the generations to come. Will the day come when we have all forgotten how to trust our internal knowing? The compass we were born with? So you bet I ignored it all. I chose my route along the canal starting at Saltaire. I followed different paths (I even went in circles), before I headed into one of the most beautiful coffee shops and personal favourite @gaffe.shipley right along the canal. I enjoyed their incredible coffee paired with a gorgeous @anais_and_bakery brownie and lost myself in my book before doing it all again. Was the weather "perfect" for filming? No Was it beautiful anyway? Yes Did I feel joyful? Yes Was my body grateful for the warmer temperatures? Yes This is your reminder to trust yourself. It’s time to bring the human HEART back into Earth ♥️ 🌎 Ps if your local you really should head for a canal walk to @gaffe.shipley I'm no AI but I'm a woman who knows a good walk & coffee spot filled with beautiful pe
