The leaves are turning red, orange and brown and drifting off the trees like snowflakes. Autumn is definitely here although the UK temperatures don’t seem to reflect it. Taking advantage of the sun, we set out for a nature walk this weekend to be amongst the autumnal hues. Not very ‘city’ you might be thinking but hidden in London’s majestic Richmond Park is the Isabella Plantation, a wooded area complete with ponds, streams, ducks and herons. You can read all about our visit in this week’s City Tripping – the place to link up your city-related travel posts.
Just to repeat, a gentle reminder that this linky is for posts focusing on city travel. We had far fewer last week that didn’t fit the theme which was great. We try not to be too strict – one country’s city can be smaller than another country’s town, and we’re as happy with ancient cities as modern day ones, or quiet green corners of a big metropolis – but if your post doesn’t feature a city at all or is talking about escaping the city entirely, there are some other great travel linkys where it’s a better fit.
If you’re not sure, drop us a line – we’re very friendly. Honest. Thanks as ever to everyone who does link up – we always love reading your posts, and love the City Tripping community that’s built up.
Last week’s top picks were.
Venice Beyond the Crowds – Untold Morsels
Strolling Among Medieval Kilkenny – Learning Escapes
Tofukuji Temple, Kyoto, in the Autumn – Bumble Bee Mum
950th Anniversary of the Battle of Hastings – Rosie @ Eco-Gites of Lenault
As well as sharing and commenting on your posts, we will also be pinning them on our City Tripping Pinterest board so if you need any more city inspiration, be sure to check it out and follow our Pinterest board featuring past posts. Let me know if you would like an invite to pin on the board.

It could be a day out, a review of an attraction, long weekend or sharing your best insider info and hidden gems – as long as it is city-related travel.
