The Journey

Read the latest issue

Hello… and welcome to the first issue of The Journey in 2024. The early part of the year is often a time for planning and self-evaluation. What can be achieved over the next few months? What are the experiences, challenges and adventures that lie ahead? What might be learned, or created, or changed?

With this spirit of discovery in mind, in this issue we’ve suggested 24 ideas for trips to plan in 2024, from beat-heavy urban festivals to remote mountain escapes. England and Wales can seem small in a global context, but on the ground they become vast: potential-packed worlds full of hidden corners to explore.

Over the following pages you’ll also find inspirational words from some of the celebrities that have spoken to The Journey in recent years, as well as features that touch on everything from winter escapes to landscape painting. And with this being a time of year when daylight can still be in short supply, we round up some of the best headtorches in the market.

On which note, we hope the following pages help shine a light on your plans for the year ahead. Here’s to a fruitful, uplifting and activity-filled 2024. Happy reading.
