What's In This Month's Issue?

This month’s issue takes us to some of England’s lesser-known seaside resorts.

Many of the country’s most rewarding coastal destinations are often overlooked.

While places like Brighton, Blackpool and Bournemouth attract the crowds, there are countless smaller towns and villages where history, scenery and local character have remained wonderfully intact.

In this issue’s first article, we explore some of these hidden seaside gems, from the white cliffs of Beer and the timeless streets of Robin Hood’s Bay to the elegant charm of Aldeburgh and the historic waterfront of Deal.

In our second article, we visit Robin Hood’s Bay in more detail, discovering how its dramatic setting, maritime heritage and smuggling past have created one of Yorkshire’s most captivating villages.

And in this month’s ‘famous Briton’ feature, we celebrate the life of composer Benjamin Britten, whose music and legacy remain inseparable from the Suffolk coastal town of Aldeburgh.

Our gallery and quiz have the same seaside theme.
