Hadlee on Hanmer

Guardian Travel discovers Sir Richard Hadlee’s preferred holiday destination, Hanmer Springs. Hadlee explains his choice in the accompanying interview: “I’ve been going since I was nine, when the whole family would decamp there for holidays. It’s quiet and low-key yet it offers so much. There’s a golf course, the forest, horse-riding, mountain walks and great bike rides. The weather is also perfect – hot in summer, snowy and cold in winter.”
