or some campsites, October marks the end of the season, but the idea of pausing our adventures until spring is anathema for many (). Many festivities are associated with autumn, too, with Halloween, Fireworks Night and Christmas markets. We’ve picked out some spookily atmospheric places for you (p26)! If you’re searching for ideas for next year, there’s a glut of inspiration in this issue, including jaunts across the Channel, where we select beautiful French villages (p62), and a trip to the magical Mediterranean (p50). Marcus Leach and family go even further afield as they cross the Bosphorus into Asia on their European Odyssey (p58). Back in Blighty, we feature dog-walking in Cumbria (p28), Cirencester in the Cotswolds (p34), Pateley Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales (p40) and a tour of Northumberland (p44). Only a couple of days to spare? How about 48 hours in North Berwick (p66)? Happy travels!
