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!

Play dress-up – period-costume style<br />
You don’t have to be a child to play at dressingup.<br />
Adventures in Costume at Grantown<br />
Museum, on the edge of the Cairngorms, is a chance for<br />
anyone to try on handmade replica costumes.<br />
Book an hour at the museum with an expert dresser<br />
who will help you negotiate everything from petticoats<br />
and panniers, corsets to crinolines. There are 23<br />
handmade costumes (for men, women and children),<br />
loosely based on favourites from the screen and crafted<br />
in sumptuous fabrics. Popular outfits include those based<br />
on Outlander, The Young Victoria, Downton Abbey and<br />
Pride & Prejudice. Elsewhere, you can find out about the<br />
history of Grantown, whose wealth was once based on<br />
its linen production.<br />
A one-hour costume experience costs £50 for two people<br />
and includes the use of a personal dresser; grantownmuseum.co.uk<br />
