Capturing the Beauty of Ashburnham Place in Late Autumn

Nestled near Battle in East Sussex, Ashburnham Place is a hidden gem in the High Weald countryside, boasting historic charm, mature woodlands, and vibrant autumn colours. Formerly a stately home and now a Christian retreat, Ashburnham is open to visitors, offering serene grounds and a chance to immerse yourself in centuries-old natural beauty. Late autumn, with its golden hues and tranquil atmosphere, is an especially magical time to explore this picturesque location—whether you’re visiting to soak in the scenery or to capture its beauty through your lens.

In this blog post, I’ll share highlights from two recent visits to Ashburnham Place, my experience photographing its magnificent beech woodlands, and tips for making the most of your time here.
