The colours of Autumn are at their ripest in October, leafy landscapes are ablaze of reds and golds making the landscape of Wales’ great gardens, woodlands and parks burst with colour. In the half term holidays explore Wales on a family holiday or short break, wrap up and go on a Autumn walk, look out for wildlife and take in a food festival or two.

This Autumn half term go on a wildlife spotting expedition. It’s a great way to keep active and spend a day out exploring Wales’ beautiful landscape.

• Spot Fallow Deer and Red Deer at Margam Country Park
• Look out for Grey Seal pups around the Pembrokeshire Coast and Ramsey Island 
• Listen out for noisy families of coughs at RSPB South Stack Cliffs on Anglesey
