The Jan/Feb 2024 issue of BRITAIN is here!

Welcome to the January/Feburary 2024 issue of BRITAIN! Here’s what to expect from the new issue…

We’ve got an action-packed issue for you for the first of the new year!

First up we pay a visit to pretty Cheshire. With its leafy canals, crooked Tudor houses and salt-making heritage, Cheshire’s quieter charms are well worth exploring.

Looking forward to the new series of Bridgerton? With its world of fancy frocks and high-society balls soon to hit our screens again, in our new issue we take a dance though the history of debutantes.

And, supported by grand castle-like towers clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone, Tower Bridge is as much a part of London as black taxis and beefeaters. The iconic bridge is a familiar feature of the London skyline, but the people that lived and worked on this iconic structure had long been forgotten – until a new initiative revealed their stories.

Plus, can you think of anything more quintessentially English than punting along the backs of Cambridge’s colleges? This issue you can read our ultimate guide to a weekend in this beautiful and historic city.

And, you could be in with a chance of winning a luxury stay in Cambridge too!
