Autumn is the perfect time to get outside with the family and create unforgettable moments. And with all kinds of events from woodland adventure days to wildlife watching, it’ll be impossible for the kids to get bored this October half term.

Head out on a walk to see the glorious golds, reds and greens of autumn. From bracing hikes over windswept moorlands to gentle woodland walks, there are trails to suit all tastes.

Whether it's the place you first fell in love, somewhere to escape the bustle of everyday life, or where you go to get closer to nature, we all make special connections with different places. These are the places that make us who we are. For Sylvia, her fondest memories have been found on Great Gable in the Lake District. Join her as she travels back to the mountain that has shaped her life.

Your help is needed to protect our great monuments to freedom. We must raise urgent funds for three very special memorial landscapes undergoing major restoration work in the coming months. The Lakes' 14 war memorial summits including Great Gable and Scafell Pyke, Runnymede where Magna Carta was sealed and Wellington Monument all need our support.
