I visited Hinton Ampner in October to see their harvest and pumpkin displays and the autumn colours during their "Harvest at Hinton Ampner" season. Over five hundred pumpkins are on display at National Trust property Hinton Ampner, which is located in southern Hampshire. I visited with friends and had a wander around the gardens and grounds to catch some of the colour.
We first had a wander around the walled garden and enjoyed seeing the remaining flowers and plants in the garden before the colder weather came in.
Large pumpkins were growing in the gardens.
Many vegetables and fruits were either harvested or ready to harvest.
Around one of the archways in the garden were gourds.
There was also a small display of pumpkins in the garden and information about how they grow.
The dahlia flowers were still in bloom.
The pears looked ready or almost ready to pick too.
At the front of the house at Hinton Ampner were the pumpkin displays. The pumpkins were placed on a wagon and onto shelving or crates to create a beautiful display.
We also went on a short walk in the countryside and admired the beautiful fall colours.
We walked through a field of grazing and sleeping sheep.
And we also admired the views over the house. This was my first visit to the meadows in front of the house.
When we got back, I had a quick wander around the gardens.
The leaves are beautiful colours this year because of the warm summer and dry autumn.
