Features Sneak Peek: August 1, 2020 Issue
Hasn’t July just flown by?! We can’t believe our August 1 issue hits the shelves tomorrow. We’re here with a sneak peek into the issue . . .
On our cover this week, Pat Coulter took a trip to Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula. The picturesque peninsula is home to Trebah Garden, the setting of the upcoming film adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “The Secret Garden”.
The film, starring Colin Firth and Julie Walters, is being released in the coming months, and it’s the cause of some excitement for fans of the much loved novel.
Pat took a stroll around the quaint hamlet of Helford on the peninsula, whose stone cottages and thatched pubs certainly indicate it is a picture perfect setting for the classic novel.
Discover the Lizard Peninsula and learn of the early life of Frances Hodgson Burnett in this week’s cover feature.

We chatted to urban wildlife photographer Sarah Cheesbrough about her latest book, “Wild Neighbours”, which documents over 80 different animals in and around London.
Sarah’s book is a collection of all the wildlife in the UK’s capital city, existing right under our noses but often going unnoticed.
Discover London’s wildlife from Sarah’s perspective in this week’s issue.

Scotland is home to 282 Munros (hills over 3,000 feet high).
Willie Shand‘s father was one of the many avid “Munro baggers”, who make it their mission to climb them all. Most Munros have a cairn at the summit, where walkers can add a stone to mark their achievement.
Willie’s dad, however, created a rather unique cairn of his own.
