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!

It’s no wonder then that Cornish Gems has been awarded<br />
the coveted Gold Green Tourism Award, shortlisted for<br />
a Cornwall Sustainability Award in the Carbon Neutral<br />
category, and commended for their commitment to<br />
protecting the Cornish area and landscape.<br />
Reducing the Impact of Holidays and Protecting the<br />
Landscape of Cornwall<br />
Being responsible, ethical, and aware of our effect on<br />
our planet is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. And as<br />
holidaymakers, meaningful environmental responsibility is<br />
vital – but how about we go one step further? What if we<br />
base our entire travel plans around like-minded businesses<br />
by staying only in the most environment-friendly properties?<br />
Supporting those committed to operating sustainably and<br />
responsibly and leaving only our footprints.<br />
With Cornish Gem's Eco-Conscious collection you have<br />
the choice to do just that. From renewable heating sources<br />
and electric car chargers to biodiverse landscaping featuring<br />
native plants and ecofriendly constructions, these properties<br />
endeavour to reduce the impact of your holiday and protect<br />
the beautiful landscape of Cornwall. Here's our pick of some<br />
of our favourite Cornish Gems climate-mindful properties:<br />
Boslagen<br />
Close to Padstow, Trevone and Wadebridge, this exquisite<br />
nature-inspired retreat is the perfect bolthole for two. Stay<br />
within the beautiful oasis of Boslagen as it seamlessly blends<br />
back into nature and appears as if romantically floating<br />
on its own natural pond. A dreamy setting inspired by the<br />
owner, whose focus on low-carbon and sustainable options<br />
complemented her passion for providing an exquisite holiday<br />
experience like no other. This architecturally inspiring<br />
pavilion is dressed in the very best fabrics and furnishings,<br />
while the ensuite bedroom and open-plan living, kitchen<br />
and dining spaces embrace the orchard, meadow and<br />
woodland views from the full-height glass walls. A wraparound<br />
veranda floats over the water, where guests can while<br />
away the evenings and soak in the outdoor sit-up Japanese<br />
bath. The playground of North Cornwall is a short trip<br />
away, waiting to host adventurous souls or those looking to<br />
embrace a slower pace of Cornish life.<br />
