Author and outdoor enthusiast at Millets, Natalie Wolfenden, said: "Even though winter is drawing in thick and fast, there is still so much to explore when the temperatures drop. The UK has some fantastic trails and light shows that are perfect for wrapping up warm and taking the family out to enjoy this festive season - especially during these longer, darker evenings.
"To fully enjoy the wintery light trails, preparation is key. Thermals and layering help keep you insulated, and a reliable winter jacket is essential for extended walks. Hats, scarves and gloves are must-haves too - with the right kit, you can enjoy the magic of these festive spectacles no matter what the weather brings."
