As the earthy autumn colours start to creep in and the weather gets cooler, Norfolk gardens still have plenty to offer.
Secret gardens across the county are opening to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme (NGS) this month and visitors can take in everything they have to offer.
The NGS raises money for health and nursing charities through admissions and refreshments.
