Exclusively British Magazine - July/August 2017

In this issue

Wimbledon Tennis, Lord’s test match, Premiership transfer frenzy – it must be summer! We are looking forward to the best that Britain can offer, at the peak of the holiday season, whether you are visiting UK from overseas or exploring your home countries. We hope you enjoy reading about them as much as we have in presenting them to you. Our British heritage, created over the millennia, has left indelible marks and is a magnet for tourists keen to revisit our historic sites, ever more appealing and visitor-friendly. You will find some award-winning attractions in our review, plus selection of atmospheric fortifications and we stay at the ancestral Borders home of the Dukes of Roxburghe. Our travel team have searched out such varied highlights as the delights to be found around Hampshire and Dorset, the beguiling beauty of the Isles of Scilly and the picturesque cliff-paths of Guernsey, a charming Channel Island. Wherever you go in UK, you cannot miss the Great British pub, and we have looked at some of the finest, although we wish you joy in finding your own favourites! Showing our European credentials, we sample a Mediterranean cruise, leaving from Southampton, home-port of our leading cruise-companies. On a slightly more cultural theme, we celebrate the life and works of Jane Austen, the literary genius for whom fame only came after her death, 200 years ago. For our ‘Made in Britain’ section, we are proud to feature some of the dynamic UK companies driving the renaissance of artisan gin manufacture and our latest London ‘Shopping Institution’ is the remarkable Fenwick of Bond Street. With all this, and our regular features on the latest shows and exhibitions, travel news, property and style trends, we trust you will be inspired!
