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!

After a long day of exploring, we were grateful to return to The King’s Head,<br />
our home from home, for a hearty meal and a chance to reset and unwind.<br />
’<br />
DAY TWO<br />
Following another delicious breakfast and feeling a little<br />
more adventurous, we decided to explore further afield<br />
and drove to the Victorian fishing village of Mumbles<br />
on the southeast corner of the Gower Peninsula – the<br />
birthplace of Dylan Thomas and a village steeped in<br />
history and traditional seaside charm.<br />
We visited the Victorian Pier and Bracelet Bay, iconic<br />
landmarks on the Gower coastline with views across to<br />
the lighthouse built in 1794. Don’t miss an ice-cream from<br />
the fun retro Welsh landmark, originally built in the early<br />
1930s to promote a cider brand: Swansea’s famous Big<br />
Apple, known as the giant concrete Pac-Man, is such a<br />
rare and unusual example of a seaside refreshment kiosk<br />
that a few years ago it was graded as a listed building for<br />
its special architectural interest.<br />
It is easy to beach crawl your way along the Gower<br />
coast path, with lots to see and do at neighbouring <br />
