Autumn has well and truly arrived: there’s a nip in the air, a peppering\u00a0of russet on the trees and decorative\u00a0gourd displays every which way we look. It’s one of our favourite times of year, so we’re sharing some more of our best autumnal travel content (just in case you missed it, here’s our previous selection of fabulous fall-themed content<\/a>).<\/p>\n First, there’s an article we wrote on an increasingly popular phenomenon: light festivals (one of the highlights of the light art calendar, Prague’s Signal Festival, starts on 11th October). And speaking of autumn festivals, we have also got our write-up of London\u2019s Totally Thames festival, which is currently underway. And that’s just for starters…<\/p>\n Because autumn also coincides with wine harvest season in large parts of the Northern Hemisphere, you’ll find a feature we wrote\u00a0back in 2014 on the ultimate Napa Valley weekend. Last but not least, for those planning some last-minute autumn trips, we have included a recent travel guide to Ireland we\u00a0wrote for Oliver’s Travels.
