Aquamarine waters, bone-white sands, bleached driftwood… the stuff of holiday brochures and Instagram posts, and designed to lure us to foreign and exotic idylls. But, hang on; why go abroad? Look closer to home. Britain’s coastline may not offer the bath-warm temperatures and languid palm trees of, say, the Caribbean, but it has some startling...

Once utterly miserable, Margate is now a magnet for Hollywood actors
But cheap package holidays abroad and a lack of investment at home kickstarted the town’s demise. Great storms damaged the lido, jetty and bathing pavilions, hotels were sold off and shops boarded up. I grew up in the area in the 1980s and 1990s and Margate – particularly its old town – was utterly miserable....
The 10 best holidays in Norfolk for 2024
One of the fleet used for the WWII Dunkirk evacuations in May 1940, her restoration included a new curved mahogany canopy and mast.

Cranborne Chase, the A-list alternative to the Cotswolds
A couple of miles south of the village is Old Wardour Castle, an atmospheric ruin that appeared in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner. Not far from that is pint-sized Swallowcliff, home to the Royal Oak pub, owned since 2020 by TV presenter James May. There are celebrity residents too...

I visited ‘the UK’s worst seaside town’ – it’s like the British Library of bad tattoos
All summer we will be taking the pulse of our most famous traditional seaside towns, examining the efforts being made to regenerate them, and opining on whether they are still worth visiting. This week, Ed Grenby explores Skegness. I have narrowly avoided winning a plastic lizard. Which is good because I think I might have...
The twee Cotswolds town that became a super-rich playground
The service in the rest of the hotel isn’t quite as dedicated as the Grain Store, with staff overstretched in the restaurant, which is riotously popular with locals who come to devour oysters with champagne. Food is traditional with a trendy take and dependably delicious. I very much enjoyed my cheese souffle with truffle, and...
Sea Rider Competition for Early Career Researchers
British High Commission to Canada invites applicants to join the crew of an ice capable ship on a 3–4-day voyage through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, travelling between Québec City, Québec and St. John’s, Newfoundland. Participants will experience life on-board a ship that routinely hosts scientists. They will also have a chance to meet some...
The Norfolk nature reserve known for its pristine sands – and surprising birdlife
Even so, the unseasonal conditions make one particularly heavy-set, long-necked bird seem all the more exotic. Standing nearly a metre tall on sturdy black legs, its plumage is pure white except for a dusting of saffron on its chest. Its dark bill flattens out into a bronze-tipped spatula that the bird is dipping into the...
