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!

Rhossili is a very pretty, tranquil and quaint village with laid-back locals – a<br />
place to truly escape from the hustle and bustle.<br />
’<br />
Opposite the restaurant is the National Trust car park<br />
and access to the gravel footpath along the cliff top of<br />
Worm’s Head – derived from an Old English word ‘wurm,’<br />
meaning ‘dragon’ or ‘sea serpent’, as the peninsula was said<br />
to resemble a sleeping ‘wurm’. This dramatic tidal island<br />
comprises three parts: the Inner Head, the Middle Head<br />
(which features a collapsed sea cave and is known as the<br />
Devil’s Bridge), and the Outer Head, which you can only<br />
reach safely during low tide. To scramble your way to the<br />
island along the rocky path and back, there’s a five-hour<br />
window of opportunity (2.5 hours each side of low tide), so<br />
it is important to plan ahead and check the crossing-times<br />
board, which is updated daily. Once across, you will find a<br />
peaceful haven, where seals are often basking on the rocks,<br />
and there’s a fantastic view looking back towards Rhossili.<br />
We walked to the old Coastguard Lookout at the end<br />
of the headland before heading back along the beach<br />
back towards Llangennith. Poppy was in her element, <br />
