I'm thinking of being down that way myself in mid-Sept, but no firm plans. If you are staying somewhere with a railway station, I recommend that you buy a Rhineland-Pfalz card. This costs around €30-40 depending on number of people (up to 5. Under 14's free) and gives you virtually unlimited travel (not ICE) in Rhineland and Saarland ie the Rhine valley as far as Mainz, the Moselle valley and the Saar valley as far as Saarbrucken for a day.

Koblenz is worth a trip and you can get a great cable car trip from the Deutsches Eck over the Rhine to the castle on the opposite bank.

We were in that area in June - July this year and loved it, staying a week at Saarburg and then 10 days at Krov, by the Mosel. We have a dog and it was VERY hot so visits were slightly restricted, but round Saarburg we enjoyed the town itself, the Landal country park (where the big holiday park type site is located) with its summer toboggan run, many walking trails and magnificent views - we drove up, round the hairpins, and used the free parking at the top, but the cable car from the town is very popular - as well as walks by the river and in the forests by the campsite we used (Waldfrieden).
By the Mosel, Trier is a city worth a visit, the river itself is bordered by dozens of picturesque wine-producing villages, easily viewed from a boat on one of the many river trips (dogs allowed), Bernkastel is very busy but a “must see”, Traben-Trarbach is a smaller, quieter but similar town and Krov has an amazing ice-cream parlour (as do most German towns) and outdoor swimming complex.
There are wine-tasting opportunities at every turn, and as you’re there next month there’ll be various wine festivals in the different communities (often with music, fireworks etc) - best bet is to check with the tourist offices, either in person when you get there or on-line before you go.
Incidentally, we saw and heard very few UK visitors while we were there but managed fine with Germans who spoke English, our very limited German and the usual gestures and sign-language!
Have a great holiday and hope you enjoy the area as much as we did.

I'm not a great fan of Trier itself, but I love Saarburg and also stay at Camping Waldfrieden. It's a bit of a walk into town, so next time I might be tempted to try Camping Leukbachtal which is closer to town and convenient for the modern shopping centre.

Anyway, have a great time.

We gave Trier a miss this time as we’d visited previously, but feel it’s worth a look if nearby.
We were happy with the walk into Saarburg from Waldfrieden as it kept the dog (and us) exercised - we tended to walk down past Leukbachtal and then along by the river, past the back of the shopping park and on into town. It took us about 35 minutes to the waterfall in the town centre.
