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!

contented families, couples and friends. There’s a huge<br />
skylight flooding the room with natural light during the<br />
lighter evenings, and the terrace doors are flung open to<br />
offer views of the rolling countryside.<br />
Executive chef Richard Davies is a former Great <strong>British</strong><br />
Menu winner and ex-chef de partie for Gordon Ramsay.<br />
He favours modern <strong>British</strong> dishes with a dose of French<br />
influence, and the menu is overflowing with classics with<br />
a twist. I’d strongly advise ordering the cheese soufflé to<br />
start – it’s been on the menu for years and comes perfectly<br />
puffed and golden, with a rich truffle sauce.<br />
Other highlights include the Orkney scallops, served in<br />
their shell and coloured with baked apple and tangy yuzu<br />
butter; and the indulgent Chateaubriand, bred at nearby<br />
Stokes Marsh Farm, accompanied with bubbling, cheesy<br />
cauliflower and broccoli.<br />
Back in my room, the nature theme continues – the soft<br />
furnishings are adorned with delicate leaf prints and <br />
