Welcome to Kings Hat New Forest. Walks around the New Forest are abundant, and beautiful, and Kings Hat is no different. The car park for Kings Hat, is actually on the other side of the road to the actual Kings Hat Inclosure. Check out the video below we took on our visit, and don’t...
The UK has been in LockDown since the 23rd of March. We have been restricted to our home, essential places of work, and essential shopping. But eventually, things will open. What will Camping After Lockdown look like? As of the time of writing, 8th June 2020, things are slightly easing...
The Lookout at Lepe Beach and Country Park is still relatively new. It opened after an 11-month refurbishment in May 2018. When we are not camping in the Campervan, we try to take the odd day trip. Here, and a coffee in the Lepe Beach cafe is always one of the places we consider. The...
Calshot Beach is a beach that looks over the Solent and sits alongside things like Calshot Castle and Calshot Activities Centre. We do like a trip to a beach or a bay, and Calshot Beach is close to where we live. Heading here for lunch certainly ticks off one the best reasons for owning a...
There are many reasons why Campervans are great. I want to list my best reasons for a campervan holiday, and you can let me know if you agree. Traveling around the UK is perfect in a campervan, and here is why. Yes, 5* Luxury accommodation is brilliant (just ask my wife), but for true...
So, in these uncertain times, there may be no travelling abroad for a while. As a result, now is a perfect opportunity to take that UK Road Trip. Although, if you are reading this during the 2020 LockDown thanks to the Coronavirus, then don’t take one just yet. Save your UK Travel...
Kimmeridge Bay Dorset is one of many little bays or coves that are scattered along the Jurassic Coast. When we visited, we chose to park on the clifftop. There is a slipway car park too, but we chose the clifftop car park for the great views and the mini-hike down to the bay. If you are...
Corfe Castle is a ruined castle site situated in the village of Corfe, in Dorset. It is one of more than 1,500 castles that are dotted around the UK. If you are a fan of castles, particularly small ones, have a read of this post. Corfe is just 15-minute drive to the beautiful seaside town...
Being an old and diverse land, it is not surprising there are a number of interesting facts about the UK. I decided to pick a few subjects and do a bit of internet research while sitting here in LockDown. Not only did I find the interesting facts I was after, but I learnt a few things...
Billy Winters Weymouth Beach Bar is just a cool place to be. Sitting on the pebble/shingle beach, not far from Chesil Beach sits this earthy, inviting, retro beach bar. A beachside shack with brightly painted picnic tables overlooking the beach. Billy Winters is a place you will want to...
During our 2019 trip to Jersey, we earmarked a few sights to visit, one of them was La Corbiere Lighthouse. As lighthouses go Corbiere Lighthouse is a relatively small one, certainly compared to the last lighthouse we visited. Standing 10 metres high, it has a greater presence sitting...
The National Showcaves Centre for Wales is, would you believe it, in Wales. We shot off for a 3-night camper van trip during the UK school holidays and our campsite in the stunning Brecon Beacons was a few miles away from The National Showcaves Centre. Caves are cold, damp, dark and...
