The temperature across the region has plummeted, locals are walking around draped in their winter coats and the nights are longer.
All signs point to the winter season being in full swing.
While, it may seem tempting for many locals to stay at home and bask in warm homes instead of venturing out into the cold.
That would be a foolish idea because there is so much scenic locations dotted across the county to see and enjoy.
From rolling hills like the Malvern Hills which offer stunning panoramic views to dazzling castles such as Warwick Castles - there is plenty to get up to!
Especially as the school holidays are just in a few weeks time, lots of kids will want to explore the great outdoors.
