The Turn of the Season – Autumn Hiking on the SWCP
As we enter a new season, we reflect on the changing landscape and wildlife that emerges throughout the autumn months. As the days shorten and the temperature dips, we’ve shared some handy tips to help get you trail-ready for autumn.

Every year, the Marine Conservation Society and citizen scientists, like you, are on the lookout for jellyfish and marine turtles around the UK. From May-September, jellyfish arrive in UK waters in their hundreds, attracting turtles to feed here, too. If you spot jellyfish or turtles on your trip to the coast this summer, the Marine Conservation Society want to hear all about it.
