Zigzagging from its rocky outcrop, Stoneywell is the realisation of one man’s Arts and Crafts vision within a family home.
Original furniture and family treasures fill the cottage’s quirky rooms and, outside, every turn conjures childhood memories of holiday excitement – one way to the fort, another to the woods beyond.
One of London’s last remaining Tudor houses, Sutton House was built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadleir. By 1540 he was Secretary of State to Henry VIII and this was his family home.
You’ll find all the atmosphere of a Tudor house as you explore many of the rooms: with fine oak-panelled chambers, a great hall, fireplaces, cellars, and a tranquil courtyard. Then, enjoy the twists and surprises as you discover later period additions that reveal the house’s other histories.
Sitting high above the Needles at the very western tip of the Island, with bird’s-eye views of the Solent and unspoilt countryside, is the Needles Old Battery. A Victorian fort built in 1862 for a war that never took place, it became known as one of ‘Palmerston’s Follies’ after the politician that commissioned it, but was called into action during both World Wars.
The Battery’s multi-layered story is brought to life in a series of atmospheric rooms that show just what it was like to work here for Victorian gunners through to Second World War officers. Vivid cartoons by comic book artist Geoff Campion illustrate the part it played in the history of modern Britain too.
Dramatic river gorge, ancient woodlands, tea garden and shop in stunning surroundings. Take a stroll around the 2,000 acres of Watersmeet and Countisbury, a haven for wildlife with breathtaking views.
On Exmoor, Watersmeet is the meeting place of the East Lyn river and Hoar Oak Water. Explore the rich woodlands of the Lyn Valley and stroll along the riverside at Lynmouth, Combe Park and Rockford. As a contrast, the South West Coast Path runs along the dramatic Glenthorne Cliffs, towards Devon’s most northerly outcrop, Foreland Point.
Watersmeet is part of the North Devon coast managed by the National Trust.
A Cotswolds getaway wouldn’t be complete without a cosy cottage stay. Full of country charm, the two-bedroom cottage retains many original features from the large inglenook fireplace to the exposed beams. There’s a small seating area in the terraced garden, perfect for those hazy summer evenings.
Pack your walking boots, as this is a real walker’s retreat. The cottage sits opposite Snowshill Manor and Garden where you can pick up walking information from the shop. Nearby you can loop onto the Cotswold Way long distance footpath for walks into the wider countryside.
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a boating novice there’s one thing you can count on when you’re out on the water: needing a hat. The issue is that often water, particularly on the sea, comes with a high risk of a breeze.
No one likes losing their favourite head gear over board, which is why these nautical themed multi-wraps are ideal for wearing whilst out on the water. They won’t blow away, but they will protect you from the sun’s rays using their SPF powers.
This compactable jacket is perfect for rolling up and putting in a backpack to guard against the unpredictable British weather.
It has a Velcro-fastening front pocket and a zippable arm pocket so you can store important items and look good doing it.
Bill Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before.
You’ve never travelled across Europe as Bill Bryson has – or at least you haven’t seen it quite as he does!
