Autumn is a season made for wandering – when landscapes glow with golden leaves, the air carries a crisp freshness, and every trail invites a wander. With over 100 hostels across England and Wales, YHA offers a different kind of escape – one that’s affordable, flexible, and brimming with adventure. This autumn, it’s the perfect time to slow down, savour the season, and reconnect with the joy of exploring.
Forget the old-fashioned image of hostelling. YHA is for everyone, no matter your age or travel style. From sociable dorms to private rooms, cosy cabins to whole hostel hire through YHA Exclusive Hire, there’s a stay to suit every traveller. Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a family trip, or a group getaway, YHA puts the magic of autumn at your fingertips.

What sets YHA apart is its unbeatable locations. Imagine waking up in the heart of England’s National Parks, stepping straight onto coastal paths, or exploring historic cities with world-famous attractions just minutes away. Every stay transforms your journey into an adventure, turning ordinary getaways into extraordinary memories.
And then there’s the buildings themselves. Each YHA hostel has a story to tell. Sleep in a medieval castle at YHA St Briavels Castle, linger near a Unesco World Heritage Site at YHA The Sill at Hadrian’s Wall, or retreat to the stunning Pembrokeshire coast at YHA Manorbier. For those drawn to the Lake District, YHA Borrowdale offers autumnal fells just beyond your doorstep – each location a perfect backdrop for seasonal exploration and relaxation.

YHA isn’t just about where you stay, it’s about the experience. The sense of community here is unparalleled. Gather with fellow travellers in welcoming social areas, cook up a hearty meal in self-catering kitchens, or enjoy the peace of a private room. Many hostels even feature cafés serving warm, nourishing meals – ideal for refuelling after a day on the trails.
This autumn, embrace spontaneous escapes without stretching your budget. Dorm rooms start at just £15 a night, private rooms at £30, camping and cabins from £35, and YHA Exclusive Hire is £250 per night.
