Autumn colours

The record breaking sunshine in October has done more than extend that holiday feeling and give us an added boost of much needed Vitamin D. It also helps boost carotene levels in plant life so predictions are that we’ll enjoy an extra colourful Autumn with wonderful displays of red and orange leaves.

Haven Holidays have some very attractive last minute deals available at a number of parks where you can enjoy the Autumn colours with prices for a family of up to six from less than a £100.

Take your walking boots or hire a bike and de-stress with a back to nature experience at one of Haven’s conservation award winning parks.

Children are encouraged to enjoy all that nature has to offer as well - Haven’s free ‘Wildlife Detectives’ programme includes a colourful activity book that highlights seasonal changes and focuses on flora, fauna and fungi.
