As you can see from our map on the left we’ve been all over the British Isles this issue and we’ve uncovered some real gems, such as the Isle of Thanet in Kent. With glorious beaches, a rich history and lots of hidden secrets it’s well worth exploring (p.114). If you enjoy spending time outdoors, and I know most of you do, then we’ve got plenty of suggestions for things you can do this month, from our list of the top 10 coastal bird havens to visit (p.110), to the farms that are opening their doors to the public and taking part in this year’s Open Farm Sunday event (p.80). We’ve also got all sorts of fun activities you can participate in as part of National Insect Week (p.102), as well as some great ideas for going beachcombing and amber hunting on the Suffolk coast (p.87). And of course, don’t forget to take a peek at our Out and About pages to discover some fun countryside events near you (p.64). From food festivals, craft fairs and garden tours to medieval tournaments and country shows, you’re sure to find somewhere you want to visit over the next few weeks. I’m sure many of you will be planning a holiday in the coming months and want to take your four-legged friend with you, so check out page 91 for our round up of some of the best dog-friendly hotels in the UK. If you’re holidaying near Whitby, then make sure you head to Teare Woods’ ice cream parlour by the harbour to sample some of their delicious flavours. We met up with them to discover their secret ingredient – creamy milk from their very own herd of doe-eyed golden Jersey cows (p.56). Talking of food, raspberry season is getting underway right now, so we’ve put together some scrumptious recipe ideas to help you make the most of them (p.44), as well as some tips to help you grow your own crop at home (p.38). So whether you’re in the garden or out and about, have a great month!
