GOLDEN caramel fields, rusty red leaves, purple heathers and gorgeous pink sunsets, all help make autumn special.

As the South Downs National Park welcomes autumn, people are encouraged to capture its beauty for this year’s National Park Photography Competition.

The deadline is October 23, and there is a first prize of £250 to the photographer who best captures this year’s theme of ‘My tranquil haven,’ with a runner-up prize of £150 and third prize of £50. To enter visit the website at www.southdowns.gov.uk/enter-the-south-downs-photo-competition
