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 true story of the Titanic<br />
Titanic – we all know how the unsinkable ship<br />
sank, along with over 1,500 of her passengers.<br />
Find out more by going to the place where Titanic was<br />
built. Harland & Wolff’s shipyard in Belfast is home<br />
to the Titanic Experience, with interactive galleries<br />
combining immersive technology – sights, smells,<br />
sounds – with personal stories. It whisks you from<br />
shipyard to final resting place, via the build, the launch<br />
and the sinking. Most of Titanic’s treasures went down<br />
with her and remain on the seabed, but there are some<br />
on show here, including Wallace Hartley’s violin. He<br />
was the violinist and bandleader who asked fellow band<br />
members to continue playing as the ship sunk. None<br />
survived. Rather poignantly it is engraved – ‘For Wallace<br />
on the occasion of our engagement from Maria’. Oh,<br />
the stories it could tell.<br />
Tickets for the Titanic Experience cost £24.95 (adult),<br />
£11 (child); titanicbelfast.com<br />
