National Trust Cymru is gearing up for a Halloween half-term packed with family-friendly activities at Dyffryn Gardens.

From October 28 to November 3, Dyffryn Gardens in Cardiff will host Halloween-themed nature trails, offering visitors a chance to learn about the gardens' creepy crawlies.

The Edwardian gardens, known for their autumn colours, will also feature a magical gourd display in the Glass House and the sweet scent of Katsura trees.

For those seeking more hands-on activities, the gardens have planned a variety of minibeast-themed challenges.

Children can try throwing spots on a ladybird, spinning a snail shell, or wearing insect goggles for a bug's-eye view.

The gardens also offer two natural playgrounds for children to burn off some energy.

This autumn festival of fun is set to offer a memorable experience for families looking to enjoy the seasonal change.
