Embracing Autumn Evenings: Wellbeing Tips and a Cosy Cottage Escape in Northumberland

Autumn has arrived, soon the landscape will be painted with golden leaves and crisp, fresh air. But along with the beauty of the season come shorter days and darker evenings. For some, this shift feels cosy and comforting; for others, it can feel heavy. The reduced daylight can affect mood and energy levels, sometimes leading to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Northumberland may be known for its castles and coastlines, but spend a little time with your eyes open and you’ll soon realise: this county is teeming with wildlife. From puffins in the sea spray to red squirrels in the treetops, Northumberland is one of the UK’s richest regions for wildlife — and you don’t need to be a seasoned naturalist to enjoy it.
