Chris Orange captures the UK’s most stunning islands

But, in case that wasn’t clear, acclaimed photographer Chris Orange has captured five of the very best isles for a definitive Top 5 collection – complete with golden leaves, grey clouds and orange skies.

It’s often considered the most photogenic season of the year.

So it’s perhaps not surprising that some of the UK’s most impressive islands are exceptionally stunning during the autumn months of September, October and November.

Ranging from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to the Isle of Tiree – which is the most westerly island of the Inner Hebridees – the images illustrate the natural wonders of each.

Other locations include Lundy Island, which is the largest island in the Bristol Channel, and the Isle of Lewis.

Chris, 43, from Haslemere, Surrey, said: ‘It’s incredible how the islands change over the year- the light in the sunsets lasts that much longer in Autumn than in other seasons.

‘The islands are are unbelievable at this time of year, you must go, everyone really must go. With all of these islands, you feel like you’re in some other world completely. It’s hard to choose a favourite island because they are all varied.’
