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!

BEST FOR MUSIC<br />
LOVERS<br />
Visit the<br />
neighbouring<br />
homes of two music legends<br />
One was a baroque composer,<br />
known for his operas and oratorios,<br />
the other a 1960s rock legend.<br />
There may seem to be little<br />
connecting the two, other than the<br />
pioneering music they both created.<br />
However, they also share an<br />
address – Brook Street in Mayfair.<br />
Handel lived here 300 years ago<br />
at number 25, Hendrix in the late<br />
1960s, next door at number 23.<br />
Handel Hendrix House is now fresh<br />
from a £3 million refurbishment.<br />
So, after checking out the bedroom<br />
where Hendrix wrote and rehearsed<br />
and hung out with friends like<br />
George Harrison, pop into Handel’s<br />
kitchen, parlour and dining room,<br />
where he sat on his piano and<br />
composed classical greats, such as<br />
'Messiah' and 'Zadok the Priest'<br />
(performed at the coronation<br />
of King Charles III). Exhibition<br />
spaces detail the musicians’ lives<br />
and times plus there are regular<br />
talks, live music and activities<br />
– including a monthly jam with<br />
a professional guitarist in Jimi’s<br />
bedroom!<br />
Tickets are £14 per adult. Under<br />
16s free; handelhendrix.org<br />
