British Travel Journal Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2020

In this issue

The rise in staycations, brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, has opened many more eyes to Britain’s amazing travel destinations. Some are discovering for the first time, as British Travel Journal readers have always known, that our beautiful countryside, sandy shores, spectacular landmarks and world-class hotels are far from a 'second choice' holiday option. Our latest issue - brimming with inspirational travel ideas from around our glorious island - should be enough to convince even the most hardened of international traveller, that a holiday in the British Isles won’t feel like a compromise. That’s why this year we’re offering a special discount on our ‘gift’ subscriptions for families and friends, spreading the word, and hoping that this surge we are seeing in popularity for UK travel experiences will be here long after the virus has gone. Staying in the UK comes with many bonuses too, like not having to worry about what to do with beloved four-legged friends, as we discover in our Dog-Friendly Holidays feature, and giving back to our spectacular scenery and wildlife in the next of our sustainable travel series, Discovering Nature. We hope you will be feeling on top of the world with our selection of Britain’s Best Panoramas, and you might enjoy painting them too, so we show you how in Nurture your Creativity. We offer a taste of the New Forest in our Interview with Head Chef, Luke Matthews and discover more spectacular scenery, heading west to Wild Wales, before turning south to the Polperro Heritage Coast, 48 Hours in Fowey. Other featured destinations this issue include The Charm of Clovelly, and Scotland’s Isle of Arran where we head to Meet the Makers of Isle of Arran Gin.If you're not feeling ready to travel just yet, we hope this issue helps keep your dreams of future travel plans alive - and that planning ahead will help to give you the confidence you need for a safe and memorable trip away soon.
