The famous Ouse Valley, its viaduct, & Ardingly reservoir in Autumn

I am taking you to a stunning place less than an hour away from London in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Ouse Valley. We will climb a couple of hills, walk pass a stunning lake and historical buildings and of course, the star of the day, the famous Balcombe viaduct where you will have some time for your new favourite insta- photo!

Although I can never predict how early or late the autumn colours will be at their peak, we should have a good idea and hopefully a wonderful show of colours around the reservoir and the viaduct.

Located between Haywards Heath and Balcombe, Ouse Valley Viaduct offers quite the dramatic view. A structural marvel, the viaduct was originally built in 1838 to carry the London-Brighton line over the River Ouse.

It has been estimated that around 11 million bricks were used in construction. Once a treat known only to locals, it is now an Instagram hotspot!

This will be a unique experience with everything you can dream of; nature, architecture, history and amazing pics of you in a very cool place.

As always, this day will be filled with fun and we will probably end up at a restaurant or pub for some more fun.

So click the book button and join me in this gorgeous place.
