British Travel Journal | Autumn/Winter 2023
There’s so much variety throughout this issue, bursting with breathtaking travel destinations, new hotels and extraordinary one-of-a-kind experiences. We cycle around Rutland’s 23-mile perimeter on a gourmet foodie trail, sleep under the stars in a wigwam surrounded by leopards at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent, join an early morning meadowland wildlife walk and meet the resident bees of Calcot Manor in the Cotswolds, and spend a day enjoying magnificent gardens and cyder-making at The Newt in Somerset. Our journalists uncover the hottest new hotels while partaking in a nature-inspired pottery session at the Birch Selsdon and enjoying flower arranging at Cromlix with tennis star Andy Murray's wife Kim. My own travel highlights include walking across the Rhossili Downs, visiting the exquisite region of the Gower Peninsula and taking a dip in Tinker Bunny’s Bathing Pool during a luxury stay at Atlanta Trevone in North Cornwall. With so much to both see and do, it's time to get creative with our travel trips!

Estelle Manor<br />
For a country-house hotel that offers<br />
something for everyone, take a look at this<br />
newly opened Oxfordshire pad. A sister to<br />
private club Maison Estelle in London, it has<br />
a kids club, gym, workspace and outdoor<br />
pool; a Roman baths complex featuring five<br />
indoor pools is due to open soon. Stay in<br />
elegant Manor House rooms with vintage<br />
furnishings or in child-friendly properties<br />
scattered throughout the grounds. You can<br />
eat informally in the brasserie, or live it up<br />
in the Chinese restaurant, with its Murano<br />
glass chandeliers and green velvet seats. ◆<br />

CUMBRIA<br />
Langdale Chase<br />
Lake District hotels are ten a penny but this Victorian villa, on<br />
the banks of Windermere, is looking good after a £9-million<br />
renovation over more than three years. The best rooms have<br />
watery views, with a suite in the original boathouse. An exact date<br />
for the autumnal reopening is yet to be announced. ◆<br />

THE COTSWOLDS<br />
The Bell at Charlbury<br />
Who doesn’t love a cosy pub once autumn starts to bite? New to<br />
Carole Bamford’s Daylesford portfolio is this 17th-century inn. When<br />
it opens, it will feature 12 bedrooms, an ash bar and inglenook<br />
fireplaces. The restaurant will use produce from local suppliers and<br />
Daylesford Organic to create family sharing platters. ◆<br />
