Where you can see the most gorgeous autumn colours in Wales

Wales in autumn is the season of colour.

All across the country, parks, mountains and forests, transform into nature’s full spectrum of reds, yellows and orange.

It’s one of the most fun seasons in Wales for long walks, cosy cafes, autumn leaf spotting and, of course, Halloween events. There are plenty of lush autumnal walks where you can see the colours change and the nights draw in.

Here's our round-up of some of the best places to see autumn colours in Wales.
