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!

The menu was impressive, featuring... ‘fresh off the boat’ fish from Coakley’s<br />
Fishmongers, including some delicious oysters that I simply couldn’t resist.<br />

The best place to park is in Lower Pitton where there<br />
is a car park opposite a pretty farmhouse. From there it’s<br />
about a 10-minute walk through unspoilt countryside to<br />
Mewslade Bay. The coastal path meanders down a narrow<br />
valley to the sea, through wooded and open countryside.<br />
It is such a beautiful spot, so picturesque, rich in flora<br />
and fauna, and secluded, with just the occasional hiker<br />
passing by. The sea was calm and crystal-clear and it is<br />
fun exploring the caves and hidden coves. It’s definitely<br />
one of the prettiest sections of the Gower Peninsula coast<br />
path, and I’d highly recommend taking a hike here, either<br />
towards Port Eynon or towards Fall Bay and Rhossili.<br />
About halfway from Mewslade Bay to Mumbles on<br />
the south coast, we stopped at the golf clubhouse in the<br />
charming village of Pennard for coffee and cake.<br />
The real adventure began as we explored the<br />
landscape along the coastal trails and pathways. We<br />
walked along the grassy clifftops behind the golf course <br />
