Autumn is my favorite season for many reasons, one of them being the amazing fall colors. If you are planning an autumn getaway, then you should consider heading to the UK. Autumn in England is spectacular and there are many places to visit in the UK in autumn, from big cities to small towns and gorgeous parks. Here are the best cities to visit in the UK during autumn – plus a special recommendation for you.

Keep your home safe while you travel

Before leaving on your trip, make sure you “prepare” your house for that period of time too. There are, unfortunately, many break-ins, so it’s good to be prepared.

Among the simple things you can do to keep your home safe while you travel is to install an alarm system and work with a company that offers 24/7 alarm services. In this manner, you’ll know that your house is safe and that it’s being monitored by professional surveillance systems and a team of people ready to intervene, if necessary (though I hope you will never need such an intervention.)

You should also make sure all your doors and windows are closed and talk to a neighbor to check your home every day, if possible. Leaving some lights on, as to give the impression someone is home, and a parked car in front of the house help as well.
