A hearty dinner at a cosy warm pub followed by a stroll in the autumn breeze might be just what we need to get over those end-of-summer blues.

Our region is blessed with sprawling green spaces to enjoy some fresh air, strolling with a loved one or watching the little ones jump into piles of leaves.

We are also lucky to have a whole host of stunning restaurants and pubs – many of which are close to a nature reserve or park.
