Autumn is upon us, and with it comes the anticipation of cold nights, frosty mornings, and, of course, Halloween.
The Vale transforms into a stunning landscape during autumn. Known for its rolling countryside, rugged coastline, and quaint villages, the area takes on vibrant hues of gold, amber, and russet as the leaves change. Coastal walks become even more inviting, offering breathtaking views of the sea framed by cliffs and colorful trees.
Autumn also brings a sense of tranquility to Porthkerry and Cosmeston Country Parks, where the crisp air and vibrant foliage create an ideal backdrop for leisurely walks. After a autumnal stroll, why not warm up with a cosy pub lunch at one of the many pubs dotted across the Vale? Check out our food and drink page here.
As the season embraces Halloween, the Vale comes alive with spooky events for all ages. Don’t miss out on the fun! Check out our Halloween events for a spine-tingling experience.
Autumn in the Vale offers a blend of natural beauty, with a calming serene atmosphere, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking peaceful retreats.
