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!

THE COTSWOLDS<br />
Kate Moss Spa Treatments<br />
She has already launched her own beauty<br />

a matter of time before the model Kate Moss<br />
delved into the spa sphere. The Dawn and<br />
Dusk ritual treatments under her Cosmoss<br />
brand are available exclusively at the new spa<br />
at The Lakes by Yoo Cotswolds estate, with its<br />
high-end self-catering options. Both include<br />
a massage and facial, but Dawn features a<br />
body brush to kick-start the metabolism and<br />
mood, while Dusk’s massage is carried out on<br />
an infrared mat to promote sleep. The spa has<br />
a 17m indoor pool, a sauna and steam room. ◆<br />
Treatments cost £250 for 120 minutes;<br />
