IT SEEMS like autumn is already in the air - and if you're in need of some new staycation inspiration this September then look no further. The Sun's travel team have picked our favourite places for a September break from cosy villages to trendy cities and world-famous hiking trails. NOTHING could be more glorious than the amazing displays of autumn colours in our fabulous forests.
For me, the Lake District is perfect at this time of year and combining nature with some cracking food and beer makes for a winning break. My tip for the ultimate weekend would be the Amblefest Beer and Music Festival in Ambleside, a lovely little village on the northern edge of Windermere , England’s largest lake. It comes alive over the weekend of September 27 to 29 with three popular venues, The Flying Fleece, The Tap Yard and The Apple Pie all hosting live music alongside street food stalls and of course, the chance to sample beers, ales, lagers and ciders from 50 breweries.

There’s endless trails to explore on foot , on two wheels and even by horseback and keep your eyes peeled along the way, the forest is peppered with some unique sculptures. STAYCATION hotspots like Cornwall remain pretty crowded in September, yet the British weather is so unpredictable that you could be spending your entire trip.
