Mild afternoons, but keep a warm layer handy

The average afternoon is comfortable for walking with a jacket, but sitting outside may feel chilly, particularly once daylight fades. There is scope for a warmer spell: the warmest 10% of days reach 19.7°C or more. That is a bonus rather than something to build the trip around, and days reaching 25°C are not a feature of April here. At the other end, the coldest 10% of nights fall to 1.1°C or lower. Pack layers you can take off during a mild afternoon, plus something properly warm for early starts and evenings. This is a better fit for active days than lingering outdoors in light clothing.

Leave room to change plans when it rains

Rain is the main catch with an April visit. About 15 days have measurable rain, so a waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet ground are sensible everyday kit, not just backup items. This does not mean every wet day is a washout, but it does make a rigid outdoor schedule less appealing. There are about 4.7 hours of sunshine within 13.3 hours of daylight, giving you a long window for getting out without promising clear skies throughout. Keep plans flexible and use brighter spells when they arrive. If reliable warmth matters more than travelling in April, the better-rated months are June, July and August.
