Welsh adventure awaits this October half term
From the start of term in September to the frantic run up to Christmas, this season can seem like a sprint. October half term in North Wales is the perfect chance for you and the kids to press pause. It’s a time to gather the gang for a family stroll, make the most of crisp days, revel in the crunch of leafy forest floors, and breathe in the brisk sea air, before heading back to your bolthole to luxuriate in a warming hot chocolate by the fire. Autumn is a unique time for capturing views of the everchanging forests and mountains of the North Wales landscape. Carpets of amber and crimson welcome you to this special time of year – often quieter than other seasons – giving you space to truly make your adventure your own.
With a hint of magic and mystery, October half term on Anglesey or in North Wales offers a trove of activities. From spooky ghost rides and pumpkin picking, to harvest food festivals to enjoy the sweet tastes of something local – there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
If you don’t yet have plans for October half term, we know just the spot for a little adventure.
