GET ready for hot chocolate, pumpkin spice and woolly hats, it's officially autumn!

The season of crisp, sunny days is one of the most popular for getting out and exploring the region.

As the landscape turns from shades of green to vibrant reds, orange and gold, it's one of the most breathtaking to enjoy a walk.

We are blessed to live in a part of the world that looks stunning all year round but there really is something special about autumn.
