12 awesome autumnal photos taken in the British countryside

Autumn is now well and truly upon us – maize is being harvested, crops are being drilled and livestock are munching on lush grass laden with a heavy dew.

This season ushers in a whole range of beautiful colours and scenes, so we asked the winner of the 2016 Farmers Weekly Photography Competition, Rose Tabberer, to take some snaps of autumn around her home in the Rame Peninsula of Cornwall.
