WELCOME<br />
SPRING <strong>2019</strong> | ISSUE 01<br />
WELCOME TO THE FIRST<br />
edition of <strong>British</strong> <strong>Travel</strong><br />
<strong>Journal</strong>, which we hope will<br />
become your indispensable<br />
‘go-to’ for all your upcoming<br />
travel plans - inspiring your<br />
year ahead, with a dreamy<br />
selection of seasonal holiday<br />
ideas, unique experiences, and<br />
wondrous days out.<br />
And while we can’t always guarantee the sunshine, I’m sure you’ll<br />
agree, that for a relatively small island, Britain packs a pretty good<br />
punch! Whether it is the city, country, or coast you enjoy best, there is<br />
simply so much within our beautiful and varied landscape to explore.<br />
Join in the fun with annual events, culture, history, shopping - not to<br />
mention enjoying some of the world’s finest Michelin star restaurants,<br />
hotels and spas.<br />
As Editor here at <strong>British</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> my bucket list is forever<br />
growing, I did however manage to tick one off this season, with a<br />
rock-climbing adventure to Jersey, which I hope you enjoy reading<br />
(p48). I’ve discovered unique experiences I didn’t even know were<br />
possible, such as jumping into a hot tub as you sail down the River<br />
Thames (p26), and if, like me, you are an avid foodie, then you will<br />
love our holy trinity of gastronomy ‘In The Stars’ (p72).<br />
From days out to great long journeys and one-off adventures,<br />
please remember while making your new discoveries to snap some<br />
photos along the way, as we would love you to enter our <strong>British</strong><br />
<strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> Landscape Photography Competition - for your<br />
chance to win a night of London luxury in Mayfair (p14).<br />
So, whether you’re reading this from a far-flung airport lounge, a<br />
sumptious hotel suite, or with your feet up at home on the sofa, we urge<br />
you to stop dreaming and to start treating yourself. u<br />
