Welcome Discover Britain Magazine October-November 2021 Issue

Often when compiling a new magazine issue, unexpected themes emerge and language has proved one of those threads here. We begin with arguably Britain’s greatest wordsmith, William Shakespeare, as we tour the area surrounding his Stratford-upon-Avon home in search of ruined castles, Tudor gardens and curiously-titled villages that sound as if they were named by the Bard himself (p10).
Our former deputy editor Sally Hales has also written a fascinating piece about the campaign to preserve the Welsh language, underlining the cultural benefits while suggesting places to visit and find out more (p38). And finally, we’ve picked out 13 of the greatest speeches in British history from Oscar Wilde to
Margaret Thatcher (p20), celebrating our nation’s history of excellence in eloquence. If you have a favourite historic speech that we missed from the list, why not drop us a line at the address opposite and tell us why?
