How is the weather in England in October?
I've been trying to plan a trip to England all year long, and the timing hasn't been right, for one reason or another. Doh! The year is fast running out, and I still haven't gone
About the only time left in my schedule that might work this year is a period in early-mid October, but I've heard that the weather is terrible that time of year. At least the air line rates are cheaper then (well, at least they were -- don't know what might happen with the rates as a result of the lastest tragedies and increased security measures).
For whatever it's worth, I don't mind rain at all. In fact, I love clouds and rain.
I am also a nature lover, and would love to tour the beautiful English countryside again, maybe go up to the Lake District. Will the leaves already be off the trees in England at that time, or not?
Are the castles and other things of that sort still open to tourists that time of year?
Just curious. Any thoughts/insights from any of you English people (or non-English, for that matter) would be appreciated.
