Yes Autumn is here, but the settled weather continues, so why not take this opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and get some healthy walking in and while the temperatures remain nicely warm, what could be better that all the family can enjoy and here are a couple of ideas for you

Brownsea Island in Dorest is ideal for a family adventure, the home of the first ever Scout Camp way back in 1907. You can take all the family on a short two mile stroll starting out at St Mary’s Church following the signs towards the harbour and Brownsea Castle, built back in the sixteenth century by Henry VIII. You can then make your way to Rockets Corner, which is an ideal habitat for red squirrels so keep your eyes open. The Scots Pine are also home to several species of birds so look out for goldcrests and peregrines. Nearby is an area of wetlands that is home to several species of insects including twenty-four species of dragonfly. A great way to spend a leisurely hour or so exploring with all the family.

Ideal for those little legs and with enough to keep children of all ages a walk around the grounds of Plas Newydd on Anglesey is another great example of a short walk that everyone can enjoy. There is even a treehouse and an adventure playground to explore along the way so this two mile walk may take a little longer than an hour to complete. With views across the Menai Straits and Snowdonia in the distance, there is always something to see, wherever you turn, and this includes an amazing formal Italian garden that was created in the 1920s

So just a couple of walks to light your imagination, so why not get the family together for a day trip, or look for something on your own doorstep, this country has lots to offer, so grab kit the kids out in one of the new Regatta Lionhart Full Zip Microfleeces that have arrived and make your plans today.
