From walking Hadrian's Wall to exploring the unspoilt corners of the Pembrokeshire coast, Liz made a point of taking her time, talking to the people she met, and avoiding — at all costs — falling in to the trap of box-ticking sights and places.We're delighted that Liz joined us on the Country Life Podcast, speaking to our own Travel Editor, Rosie Paterson, to discuss the places she saw, the people she met, and what she learned about travel — and indeed herself — on the way.Liz's book is published by Hoxton — you can order a copy here.Episode credits Host: Rosie PatersonGuest: Liz SchafferProducer and Editor: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via PixabaySpecial thanks: Adam WilbournOn holiday this week but will be back next time: James Fisher Hosted on Acast.

It's claimed Clare has a wealth of visitor opportunities at it's fingertips just waiting to be applied. Over 200 local hospitality tourism operators have attended a conference of national industry experts in Dromoland to outline how this county can overcome it's unique sectoral challenges. The 'Together for Tourism' event was organised by Visit Clare and featuring high on the agenda was the 13.5% hospitality vat rate and the acute shortage of visitor beds. In conjunction with Fáilte Ireland, the local authority has recently completed an audit of available tourist accommodation here and the preliminary findings indicate the need for an increased provision of self-catering and mobile home facilities. Clare's Tourism Director believes that refurbishing vacant units to create village accommodation hubs and the creation of a digital pass, so visitors can avail of multiple destinations in the county at a discounted rate will be vital to increase footfall. Corofin native Leonard Cleary insists many beneficial projects are in the pipeline. A travel expert has warned though that Clare needs to set it's wheels in motion to provide more experience based accommodation. As 2,606 hotel beds here are currently occupied by Ukrainian Refugees, local hospitality providers are scrambling to produce alternative options for tourists. In December, the local authority passed a proposal that would enable suitable farms and costal lands to set up a maximum of two serviced glamping pods on their lands for visitor use. Travel Editor with the Irish Independent, Pól O'Conaghaile says the scheme must be expedited to open up Clare to new markets. A team of researchers from the Atlantic Technological University are currently spearheading efforts that would see county Clare gain global recognition as a sustainable destination. Their findings so far, show that 97% of visitors are satisfied with their experience in the county and that 43% make a return trip. The data also shows that overnight visitors are staying here for an average of 2.6 days and spending €145 in that time, while day-trippers are spending just €64. Doctoral Researcher at ATU Sligo, Fiona McKenna says that the impact of tourist traffic on residents must be addressed to ensure locals and consumers benefit from the county's offering.

Welcome to Episode 1253 in which Marc Millon interviews Hugh Johnson award winning wine and travel writer in this installment of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.

More about today's guest: Hugh Eric Allan Johnson is an English journalist, author, editor, and expert on wine. He is considered the world's best-selling wine writer. A wine he tasted in 1964, a 1540 Steinwein from the German vineyard Würzburger Stein, is considered one of the oldest to have ever been tasted. Hugh was born the son of Guy F. Johnson CBE and Grace Kittel, and educated at Rugby School and read English at King's College, Cambridge. Later on he became a member of the Cambridge University Wine and Food Society while an undergraduate in the 1950s. On describing his introduction to wine-tasting he recalled: “...my room-mate Adrian Cowell, committee member of the University Wine & Food Society came in after dinner with two glasses and said, "Come on, Hugh, are they the same? Or different?" Both were, I am sure, red Burgundy, but one was magic and one was ordinary. This caught my imagination. It was my Damascene moment.” Johnson has been writing about wine since 1960, was taken on as a feature writer for Condé Nast Publications upon graduation, and started work on Vogue and House & Garden, becoming in 1962 editor of Wine & Food and in the same year wine correspondent of The Sunday Times, of which in 1967 he became Travel Editor. From 1968 to 1970 he edited Queen magazine in succession to Jocelyn Stevens. He has published a wide array of books, starting with the publication of Wine in 1966. The World Atlas of Wine (1971) was considered the first serious attempt to map the world's wine regions, described by the director of the INAO as "a major event in wine literature".
