Why travel in autumn?

Why travel in autumn?

Autumn is a lovely time to travel slowly. The trains and paths are quieter, the light is softer and the landscapes change colour week by week.

Our September and October departures follow the same routes as in summer, with the same small groups and leaders.

“The coast walks were the highlight, and arriving in Porto by train down the valley was a lovely way to finish.”
