A WALK near Aberystwyth has made it into Natural Resources Wales’ top 10 autumnal walks.

The vast wetland at Cors Caron National Nature Reserve near Tregaron is a dramatic sight at any time of year, but its colours really come into their own in the autumn.

It is a fantastic place for wildlife too and on warmer days you may see dragonflies and damselflies darting over the water or even a lizard or an adder basking on the boardwalk in the last of the year’s sunshine, according to NRW.

Mary Galliers, NRW’s recreation marketing and tourism officer, said: “Our sites offer every kind of spectacular display that this time of the year has to offer. From the golds, reds and browns of the turning leaves still on the trees to the rusts and yellows of grasslands and the purples and reds of bogs and moorlands.

“Autumn is a great time for visiting places that have been busier during the summer months so that you can enjoy the once crowded beaches or splash in puddles and enjoy the crunch of leaves underfoot in peaceful woodlands."
