Things To Do during October Half Term

Plan a visit during the October half term and enjoy the vibrant, rich colours on the trees; the cosy country pubs with their roaring, open fireplaces and warm, spicy aromas and an abundance of things for all the family to do.

Or get outdoors and enjoy the wealth of magical woodland walks, beautifully landscaped parks, rugged cliffs and striking coastline which form part of the South West Coast Path. The almost uninhabited award-winning beaches with their thrilling waves to splash about in provide hours of fun and the bracing winds are perfect for flying kites.

Outdoor Activities this Autumn

The English Riviera has designated UNESCO Global Geopark status, one of only eight in the UK and 140 in the whole world. The area’s extraordinary landscape and unique natural habitat attracts a colourful variety of protected wildlife and rare plants and is the perfect setting for family walks, nature spotting and cycling. The English Riviera is the perfect spot to take in the blustery coastal air, to stretch your legs and listen to the sound of fallen leaves crunching under foot.

Savour the mouth-watering tastes of the seaside with the classic fish and chips, best enjoyed alfresco style or served in a stunning waterfront location. Devon’s Beautiful Bay is known as England’s Seafood Coast and is home to some of the UK’s finest quality fish and shellfish, caught and landed locally in Brixham.

Discover Local Delicacies

Autumn is also the West Country’s cider making and foraging season when refreshing ciders and scrumptious apple and pumpkin-filled delicacies are created and readily available in the local pubs and inns, cafes and restaurants. Local fayres celebrate the season, showcasing South West food and drink suppliers and their impressive range of produce.

Escape to the English Riviera for some autumn adventures with the whole family this year.
