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!

Inspired by local heritage and sustainable agriculture,<br />
The Newt in Somerset is a working estate, and at the core<br />
of it all lies acres of truly magnificent gardens that have<br />
been lovingly tended to for over 250 years. I found even<br />
the short walk from the car park enchanting; a winding<br />
wooden walkway led me through peaceful woodland and,<br />
like some sort of teleportation device, seemed to magically<br />
transport me from the modern world and gently deposit<br />
me into a glorious rural utopia.<br />
To get my bearings, I opted for one of the regular<br />
garden tours first, which provide an insight into the<br />
fascinating history of the estate and the vision that drives<br />
it today. There are significant gardens to discover, most<br />
recently designed by renowned Italo-French architect<br />
