Nine stunning pictures as autumn paints a magical scene at beloved Leeds landmark

The tell-tale signs of autumn are settling across the city as the golden leaves begin to fall.

Mornings have turned cooler, the daylight a little softer and the nights are drawing in as the clocks look set to go back later this month.

The changing landscape reminds us that even the simplest transformations can bring beauty, comfort, and a quiet sense of renewal.

And Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Simon Hulme paid a visit to the Grade I listed Kirkstall Abbey, in Leeds, to capture the changing season.

The popular attraction is a beloved landmark for the city and was founded in around 1152.

The site is one of 14 stunning countryside walks around Leeds to try this Autumn, as recommended by the YEP.
