The countryside of Britain is a blast of colour and visual delights. Each season bring each area to light in a different way. More than just green rolling hills and dark moorland of many a preconception. Flowers, sea, sky and the natural landscape help to bring the colours to the fore from corner to corner of the Isle.
Just a small visual journey through the rainbow can bring out the vibrancy of this land.
Red:
London buses, phone booths, mailboxes and strawberries with cream. This vibrant colour represents a lot of iconic pictures of Britain and nature helps to add more.
Dorset – poppy field
Orange:
Wheat fields, birds, butterflies and many a sky in the evening or morn. Escaping to the British countryside as the Orange sun touches it brings out the appetite for the outdoors.
St Andrews – sunset
Yellow:
The colour of happiness. Daffodils in spring (The National Emblem of wales), Rapeseed fields for miles in summer. With the sun and the bloom let the energy take you.
Shropshire - farmland with rapeseed
Green:
Hills, fields, meadows, moors, mountains and valleys. All shapes and sizes from north to south. Mountain ranges, dales, valleys and rolling hills. Green a plenty.
Lake District – Crag Fell and Ennerdale
Blue:
We are lucky to have a coast all around and the variety is astonishing. Resorts, secret coves, cliff tops, sandy beaches, stunning harbours. The list of delights on the shores are endless.
Lulworth – Man o’war bay
Indigo:
Camping in the mountains makes for some impressive purple dawns. Heather in the high lands taking the brown out of moorland. City parks in flower and trees in Autumn.
Lake District – Great Langdale
Violet:
Naturally associated with the flower, gardens adourned. Fields of Lavender or darkened skies before a storm. Whatever end of the spectrum, wherever you turn, take a moment to let nature and the colours in.
Gloucestershire – Lavender fields

Stunning photos, but then Britain is beautiful even in winter. You would have to visit srveral countries abroad to get such a range of colour. Have never understood why people emigrate.

Beuautiful pictures & very creative! Love the lavender fields, whereabouts are they ?
The Lavender fields are in Gloucestershire. I love em too
An imaginative post with superb photos Paul.
To follow up on Runaway Brit’s comment a little. The greenery we all so much enjoy, does need a little rain sometime. But often after the rain we get a rainbow. Back to you Paul
Can’t beat it in all weathers for me
Changes the views in grey, white snow or green with sun 
This is such an amazing idea for a blog post! That photo of Lulworth Cove is beautiful.
Thanks Nat, yes Lulworth Cove is a beautiful place to be.
The sheer beauty of the English counryside never fails to warm my heart — and often leaves me breathless.
Whenever I see the English countryside (virtually or in person) it warms my heart. Such beauty is to be found nowhere else.
Breath-taking!
Thanks
What a great idea for a post – so beautiful! I’m a big fan of color. And I never really knew Britain could be so much more than just a shade of gray.
Very impressive!Thank you for such a nice post!

Hi Sophia, thank u for your kind words. Yes the red all around is wonderful

Thanks so very much
Thanks for sharing more great photos. I must admit I’ve had a misconception of Britain as always grey and gloomy and never really had any desire to visit. Your blog posts have changed my mind.
Thanks for those kind words Chad. Honestly it is not the grey you thought
Beautiful pictures love the lavendar especially!
Incredible landscapes and those flower fields are astounding. Thanks for sharing!
A wonderful post which brings back many memories. All fab photo’s. My favourite is the Lake District I used to visit frequently when my children were young. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant!
beautiful Britain……
doyou know what of natures forces made that perfect shaped bay?(man-o-War)

Absolutely stunning photographs. I am visiting the UK this summer, and hope to cover as much of these beautiful settings as possible. Perhaps I should go around September, when autumn arrives for extra amazing colors

Bookmarked it so I will not forget the locations
