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!

How well do you know Britain? Perhaps you’ve<br />
ticked off the main sites, dashing off to see<br />
Stonehenge, or snatching a weekend break<br />
at Hadrian’s Wall. But have you taken in<br />
Devon’s two coastlines and brace of national parks on<br />
the same trip? Or tried a Rutland Pippin (a bit like a pork<br />
pie but shaped like an apple) after cycling or walking<br />
some of the 23-mile trail round Rutland Water in Britain’s<br />
smallest county?<br />
You may feel that you’ve ‘done’ Cornwall, the<br />
Cotswolds and Cumbria but why not tarry a while and<br />
discover new aspects to these destinations, enjoying<br />
the local culture, food and experiences as well as the<br />
honeypot sights.<br />
To help you delve a little further into the wonders<br />
of our nation, we’ve launched PoB Breaks, a series<br />
of immersive journeys covering everywhere from the<br />
Scottish Highlands to the Channel Island of Jersey.<br />
An interactive map on our website lets you plan<br />
your adventure at your own pace. As well as showing<br />
our member hotels, with their great food and beautiful<br />
bedrooms, it details local activities and experiences,<br />
from coasteering in Wales to a sunset river cruise in the<br />
Dedham Vale, on the Essex/Suffolk border.<br />
It’s easy to use – you just decide where you want to<br />
travel, then plan your route depending on how long you<br />
want to spend in each place. For some inspiration, take a<br />
look at the dozen curated breaks we’ve compiled. There’s<br />
something for everyone, whether you’re a foodie, a spa<br />
lover, a culture vulture or want to get active in the big<br />
outdoors. You can follow the suggested itineraries in full<br />
or just use the segments you find most appealing, adding<br />
your own ideas to make your perfect road trip.<br />
You might just want to potter around the South East,<br />
taking in castles through the ages – Anne Boleyn’s former<br />
home of Hever and the romantic Leeds Castle in Kent <br />
