From the illuminated floats of the Guy Fawkes Carnival lighting up November to the quiet beauty of Westhay Moor and the Somerset Levels, there's always something to discover. But often, the best local spots get overlooked. Events can slip by, and hidden places remain undiscovered. Social media can make it hard to find what’s worthwhile.
