Suggest a good UK holiday destination?

[Kate!]

I'd like to take my son away for a few days in next school hols, want to stay in the UK, somewhere that's likely to have some sunshine, nice scenic walks, things to do and see. Not expensive. Not asking for much am I? :D

Any recommendations?

wales? :3

[Ammi]

New Forest..Devon..Cornwall..Derbyshire
..it depends where you live Kate..and how far you want to travel

Cornwall/Devon is always banded about yet I've never been. Sounds good though if the weather is nice I would look into that

[InOne]

Forest Of Dean. Harry Potter was filmed there :amazed:

[Jords]

Dorset

[Ninastar]

my basement

Cornwall and Devon are amazing. Warmest parts of the country, lots of great scenery, countryside, beaches and the moors. Wins hands down. Totnes is a good place to visit in Devon.

Yes, I would suggest Devon or Cornwall too. When you get there at the right time of year it's great. One hell of a drive though if you go by car.

[Bollo]

Cornwall...Hayle Bay, Polzeath is a really good place to learn to surf and Newquay always has stuff going on

[Ammi]

..what about Yorkshire Kate..or the Cotswolds
..oh and there's the Norfolk Broads..you and your son could have a few days on a boat

If you want the weather, you really need to go down south. Avoid Southend and The Isle of Sheppey at all costs. Torquay looks nice. (Not Torbay). If you want scenic walks then the Lake District is good. Also many parts of Wales. Anglesey is really nice and quiet. It depends where you are situated and how far you want to travel.

West Wales is fab, especially a place called Barmouth (lots of holiday camps around there) right on the coast and in the Summer is usually scorching. Frequent holiday destination of mine growing up, lovely little town.

Butlins has everything you could want

I wouldn't suggest Torquay, no offence Shaun.

There are much nice places in Devon.

Rhyl and Bristol are nice:blush:.

[Shaun]

Stay the hell away from Torquay x

My back passage

My back passage

I tried that once but I had a nightmare because it was self-catering.

[King Gizzard]

Rhyl and Bristol are nice:blush:.

Isn't that meant to be one of the worst places in the UK :suspect:

[Novo]

Yeah Rhyl is dreadful ran down and just a pile of **** now it use to be pretty good though

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Down South's a fair way to travel, I live near Liverpool, but I don't know how long it would take on the train? Drawn towards Wales, particularly the Barmouth suggestion, sounds nice.

Never been to the Lakes either, so maybe.

Shaun, get the kettle on...... Jk. ;)

And finally, Caitlin and Novo, I shall give your ideas a definite no. :laugh: Basements are dark and creepy and the sun definitely doesn't shine out of anyone's back passage .... Reminds me of Allo Allo the comedy series .... They talked a lot about back passages on that, lol.

I have to agree. Devon especially is quite beautiful. My oldest Son went to Somerset for a school trip and loved it there.

[Vanessa]

I think anywhere in Scotland would be great! I want to go there! :wavey:

[Jesus.]

Has to be the cotswolds because it's absolutely beautiful. Although, I am a bit biased.

[Boothy]

Lundy Island's good at this time of year.

:nono:

I live on the Isle of Sheppey.


Kate, having just returned from Looe in Cornwall, I'd recommend there. Cornwall in general is stunning and lots of scenic walks and little harbours. We took a boat out from the harbour and see some seals.
