Views over the Weald and fine cooking at this off-the-beaten-track Kentish retreat

Do Tuscany – in England

There’s a little corner of Kent that could masquerade for somewhere far more exotic. We explore Chapel Down vineyard and Tenterden, “jewel” of the Weald

Beaches

Go 007 and escape to St Margaret’s Bay, Kent

It’s surely far too exotic for somewhere just over an hour from the capital. We give London the slip for James Bond country

Cities

Explore Berwick-upon-Tweed – and Holy Island

Elizabethan town walls, Georgian terraces to die for – and one of the world’s most famous islands on its doorstep. We take the train north to Berwick-upon-Tweed

Stressed? Relax in a Moorish riad in Carmona

In our final report from Andalucia in southern Spain, Stephen Emms finds a hidden retreat less than an hour from Seville

Beaches

Brace yourself for the Gower peninsula, South Wales

The weather was wild, the scenery stunning – and the food alone worth a four hour car journey
