Visitors to the North York Moors in November will witness the gentle change from autumn into winter. The flame-bright trees will start to lose their leaves, and a noticeable drop in temperature ushers in the colder months of the year.

But there's still a wonderful variety of flora and fauna to spot at this time, so grab your waterproofs, don a cosy scarf, and come with us to explore the North York Moors this month!
