Essex is home to a wealth of places to pick a pumpkin, each offering its unique charm. The houseplant experts at Beards & Daisies have analysed Instagram followers and hashtags to identify the most photogenic pumpkin patches in England for 2024.
Their method involved combining these figures to calculate a final score for each patch, with the highest score indicating the most Instagrammable location. Impressively, five pumpkin patches in Essex have made it into their top ten ranking.
