Summer is of course a glorious time if you like it hot; June, July, August & September rarely disappoint. Spring is a fantastic time for walking, cycling and sightseeing and autumn, a time much less frequented, but in many ways the most fruitful.

During the months of October & November many local towns run festivals of regional specialities.
