"Somewhere Beyond Time" Wins Travel Journalism Award

Michael Shapiro's inspiring article that captures the mystical appeal of Wales, Britain's least-known region, has won the Grand Prize Travel Journalism Award in Memory of Bedford Pace, presented by VisitBritain. The national tourist office presents the annual awards for stories that showcase "the unique attributes of England, Scotland, and Wales." This is the second time a Traveler article has won a Bedford Pace award.
