You can also expect to find lots of spook-tacular events on during the October Half Term. Find inspiration for your October activities by reading our October things to do posts:

Visit Devon or Cornwall for your final fill of stunning beaches for the year. North Devon and North Cornwall’s coasts offer up some fantastic waves for avid surfers, with the water not as cold as you might expect thanks to the sun heating the water all summer.

Dorset is also blessed with some stunning locations. Half of the Cranborne Chase AONB sits within the county’s borders, as well as the Dorser AONB, and the magnificent Jurassic Coast. Visit world-famous landmarks like Lulworth Cove in West Lulworth, and the 18-mile-long Chesil Beach which comes to an end when it meets the Isle of Portland.
