Autumn

Autumn - as the nights draw in, it's time for getting together and enjoying organised bonfires, fireworks, spooky rambles and wrapping up warm and cosy. Wales is beautiful at this time of the year as the leaves turn into glorious reds, browns and yellows. The beaches and mountains may be quieter, but all the better for enjoying a brisk walk and getting outdoors!
