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!

Penmaenuchaf<br />
Since Neil and Zoe Kedwood opened<br />
Pembrokeshire’s Grove of Narberth in 2008,<br />
it has become one of Wales’s best hotels. Now<br />
they’re working their magic on Penmaenuchaf,<br />
which they bought earlier this year (<strong>2023</strong>).<br />
Four new suites have been created at the top<br />
of the hotel, blending old-world charm and<br />
modern design. From the antique Welsh lace<br />
on the walls to the local pottery, there is a<br />
great sense of place at this mountain retreat;<br />
the hotel is in Eryri National Park, at the foot<br />
of Cadair Idris and overlooking Mawddach<br />
Estuary. The other bedrooms are due to be<br />
refurbished this winter. ◆<br />
Rooms from £230, with breakfast;<br />
