From a castle in Cumbria to a subtropical paradise in Cornwall, these are some of the top unsung gardens across the country

In the dash for Cumbria’s lakes and fells, the area’s other green attractions can get missed. On Knipe Scar, at the edge of the Lake District national park, Lowther’s acres sprawl around the shell of a ruined 19th-century castle. Wildflower meadows, bee-friendly tree hives and rambling woodland contrast with a parterre, sculptured hornbeams and a Sleeping Beauty-inspired rose garden designed by Dan Pearson. Bikes and ebikes can be rented for pootling around the estate’s trails or perhaps a five-mile cycle to Ullswater. There is a Lost Castle adventure playground and a cafe. Before leaving, visit the west terrace for views across the Lowther valley to distant fells. Open daily, adults £15, children £10, lowthercastle.org

An exhibition at the Welsh parliament from 24 May to 12 July will go on to tour Wales throughout 2025.

The project, by Vision Fountain, seeks to highlight the contributions migrants have made to Welsh society – particularly at a time when migration, and migrants themselves, are it seems increasingly demonised in politics and the media.

Wales was officially designated a ‘Nation of Sanctuary’ in 2019, but its tradition of offering refuge reaches back centuries. Italians settled in Wales in the 19th century, drawn not only by the familiar hills and castles but also the certainty of work and friendship.

Wales: A Home From Home brings together stories from Wales’s diverse global communities, from ‘heritage’ migrants, such as the Italians, to recent arrivals escaping trauma, such as Ukrainians, Syrians and Hongkongers.

While the project celebrates moments of joy and connection, it also gives voice to difficult memories: experiences of trauma, displacement and the challenges of starting anew in an unfamiliar land.

By weaving together these personal stories and images, the exhibition attempts to reveal how Wales continues to shape the lives of people from around the world.

Institute of Race Relations says MoD’s Channel role reflects global rise of ‘hyper-militarisation’ in law enforcement

The UK Border Force is in effect under military command, reflecting a wider increase of “hyper-militarisation” in policing, according to a new report on international law enforcement.

A report by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR), timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death, says the 21st century has seen the emergence of paramilitary and “political” policing across Europe, employed at borders, during civil unrest and against public protest.

Killings in a new Israeli offensive and depleted food and medical supplies are pushing people on to the streets of the once bustling hub of Gaza

On the streets of Gaza City this week, there were two sounds that never ceased, day or night. In the west, the Mediterranean breakers crashed on the rubbish-strewn shoreline. In the east, the shells, missiles and rockets exploded with dull thuds and occasional ear-splitting cracks.

At least 100,000 people have come to Gaza City, once the bustling commercial and cultural hub of the Palestinian territory. All are fleeing the new offensive – dubbed Gideon’s Chariots – recently launched by Israel into the ruined towns and neighbourhoods of northern Gaza.

The US president thought he could impose peace through sheer personality, but he didn’t reckon with two leaders with so much to lose

Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin enjoyed a friendly phone chat earlier this month, marking the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat. The Israeli and Russian leaders have much in common. Both claim to be still heroically battling Nazis, in Gaza and Ukraine respectively. This fiction is used to justify the mass murder of civilians, spiralling troop casualties and huge economic and reputational costs. Maybe it helps them sleep at night.

His is a cautionary tale of what happens when someone who feels inadequate listens to the new generation of masculinity salesmen

When I first met Nick in 2019, at a dating and self-improvement summit in Miami, it wasn’t immediately obvious why he was paying so much money to pseudo-authority figures from the manosphere. He had looks, cash and some of the easy swagger of London done good.

Nick was over 6ft tall and had nice white teeth, labrador eyes and a healthy quotient of melanin courtesy of the sunbeds at the health club he went to twice a week. Financially, Nick had done well for himself, creating a mobile phone app and selling it to a big company. He’d put some of the proceeds down on a small flat in west London – not bad for someone in his mid-20s with no family money. Nick had even helped his parents buy an apartment in Spain on the Costa Blanca where the family holidayed twice a year, frequenting English bars and greasy spoons with all the other English people. He bought a lot of designer clothes, too (Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Stone Island, Off-White, Hugo Boss). “Important to have the basics sorted,” he’d say, splashing Tom Ford cologne on his neck before a trip to Mayfair.

How we’re parented deeply affects us but it doesn’t determine how we are as parents ourselves. It sounds as if your boyfriend understands this

Every week Annalisa Barbieri addresses a problem sent in by a reader

I have been dating my boyfriend (we are both in our 20s) for almost a year. I’m absolutely smitten. He makes me feel a better person, and I believe we are really good together.

Sadly, he doesn’t have a very good relationship with his family. I haven’t really seen this play out because I’ve not seen them together that often, but he’s told me about his childhood and that he discusses his family in his regular therapy sessions.
