It won’t be long before those balmy summer nights out are replaced for chilly evenings in, so whatever you do you must make the most of the remaining mild evenings by stargazing.

4. The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal

After the last few months we have been taking advantage of the soaring temperatures by strolling, cycling or running along the canal but get out there one last time before the inevitable September showers begin.
