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!

WALK<br />

ON THE<br />

Wild Side<br />

Sitting in the back in the safari truck, we<br />

watched as two leathery rhinos grazed and<br />

a group of camels slowly lolloped across the<br />

landscape. A family of giraffes sat snoozing<br />

under a tree, set against a vast backdrop of blue sky<br />

and the sea twinkling on the horizon, the peace only<br />

momentarily disturbed by the sound of a lion’s roar<br />

in the distance. This may well sound like Kenya, but<br />

we were in fact in Kent.<br />
