Properties for October Half Term

As the air turns crisp and the leaves glow in shades of amber, October half-term is the perfect time to wrap up warm, embrace the outdoors, and enjoy the magic of autumn in Anglesey. Whether you’re looking for free family-friendly activities, Halloween fun, or just an excuse for a bracing walk followed by a hot chocolate, there’s plenty to do without breaking the bank.  

The school holidays fall at the perfect time this year, covering both Halloween and Bonfire Night, giving families the chance to enjoy seasonal festivities while making the most of the great outdoors. Beaches may be quieter, but they’re no less beautiful – so bundle up, take a windswept walk along the coast, and enjoy the fresh sea air without the summer crowds. A favourite spot is Newborough Forest, where little explorers can spot red squirrels, follow woodland trails, and end the adventure on the stunning beach. 

For a dose of autumn colour, the National Trust’s Plas Newydd is a fantastic place to stretch your legs, with plenty of leafy trails to crunch through and wildlife to spot. If you’re looking for spooky fun, keep an eye out for Halloween-themed events across the island, from pumpkin picking to haunted trails. For those wanting to cosy up indoors, why not gather around a crackling fire in one of our holiday cottages, play board games, or enjoy some homemade treats with the family?  

Anglesey is a fantastic half-term destination, offering a mix of adventure, relaxation, and seasonal charm. Whether you’re exploring the great outdoors, embracing Halloween traditions, or simply enjoying quality time together, it’s the perfect place to make autumn memories.
