Great British Escapes

Long evenings spent in beautiful gardens with a glass of rose in hand; lazy days stretched out on the sand at the seaside listening to the cry of gulls overhead; leisurely weekends hopping on bikes to explore quaint villages and historic castles – when the weather plays nice, it’s hard to beat a Great British summer. And even when it doesn’t, we do a pretty good job of cosy pubs, endless museums and galleries, and beautiful boltholes to bed down in. For the second year, House & Garden and Condé Nast Traveller have teamed up to bring you Great British Escapes – a package celebrating the beauty of a UK getaway. From inspiration for your next weekend break to planning the ultimate day out, we’ve got you covered.
