Lots of options for brilliant walks (with, of course, relaxing places to rest and refuel nearby). And, in these weird times, we could all benefit from just taking a break. For inspiration, this month heralds autumn and a chance to get outdoors while the weather is still on the good side.

Energetic? Spend some quality time together on a coastal walk. Or maybe you’d prefer something a little more relaxed: a lunch or dinner overlooking a picturesque beach vista instead?
