Havens from the Sea
Picturesque villages, pretty boats and local fishermen carrying on a tradition that is centuries old - NIGEL HICKS harbours a fondness for Cornwall's rugged coast.

The Portrait of Oscar Wilde

At the height of his fame, Oscar Wilde claimed he had nothing to declare but his genious. However, SALLY VARLOW discovers, he died alone and in disgrace, far from his beloved London streets.

Twitching in style

LEE KAREN STOW discovers some of the country's new wildlife centres that are giving visitors a bird's-eye view of our feathered friends.

Making it in Suffolk
Lovers of British crafts should follow PAT MOORE's example. For quirky pottery with real character, jewellery by design and hand-painted silk scarves to die for, she hits the craft trail (and her bank balance) in rural Suffolk.

Fishy tale
Meet Bill Sutherland who, for almost 30 years, has plied his trade as a ghillie by the waters of the beautiful River Tay in Perthshire, Scotland.

The moving waters
British landscape designers are gaining inspiration from a variety of sources and creating gardens which feature cascading fountains, peaceful lakes and murmering streams. JACKIE NEWEY heads to four very different places in the Midlands where watering the garden takes on a whole new meaning.

A city stronghold
After conquering the Welsh, King Edward I constructed Caernarfon Castle as a symbol of his power and, even today, it still casts its imposing shadow over the landscape. SIAN ELLIS visits the castle and its friendly town in more peaceful times.

My Bit of Britain
JANE HORROCKS loves to visit Rawtenstall, her childhood home in Lancashire, which always conjures up fond memories of pickled beetroot.
