Methodology
To uncover the most Instagrammable autumn destinations, Photo and Video Edits conducted a comprehensive analysis of 130 scenic locations across the UK from several seedlists including Country Living, Countryfile, Conde Nast Traveller and Great British Gardens.
To create this ranking, they pulled the hashtags on Instagram for the “Name Only”, “Name + Autumn(al)”, “Name + Tree(s)”, “Name + Trail(s)” and “Name + Walk(s)”.
If there was a singular or plural version of the word, the word with the most hashtags was recorded. The total hashtags for each location were then ranked accordingly. Data was collected September 2024 and is subject to change.
