Welcome to the March/April issue of BRITAIN! Here’s what to expect from the new issue…
As the days lengthen, our thoughts always turn to the seaside. This issue we explore the beautiful Suffolk coast, where you’ll find a string of characterful towns and villages (not to mention England’s best fish and chips).
We also delve into the noble history of Berkshire, which numbers Windsor Castle, Royal Ascot and the King’s swans among its royal attractions.
Sticking to the royal theme, did you know that the King is both a skilled hedgelayer and an accomplished artist? In this issue find out about the hidden hobbies of King Charles and his royal predecessors, from painting to pigeon-racing.
Elsewhere this issue, we celebrate the 200th birthday of one of London’s most iconic landmarks, the National Gallery, and we’re offering you the chance to win a luxurious stay at the historic Monkey Island Estate on the Thames.
