English south coast favourites
The English south coast offer the best of the weather and tends to be milder in October which makes it a popular destination. Although Cornwall and Devon are always very popular, particularly during the summer, the fact that they are a long journey for most people means that other areas of the English south coast are also popular during October including the Isle of White, the New Forest, Bournemouth, Brighton and Eastbourne.

Away from the south coast there are plenty of great English coastal and rural locations to head to including: Norfolk Broads, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland Coast, Lake District and the Cotswolds.
Favourites in Scotland, Wales & Ireland
Beyond the English borders there is plenty of beautiful countryside and dramatic coastlines to explore including: Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire, Cairngorms, Loch Lomond, Edinburgh and County Wexford to name just a very few!
