Wissant, a town near Calais, France has a campsite 5 minutes walk to the sea. It's a 2 hour drive to Dover, 35 minute on the Eurotunnel and then a 30 minute drive to Wissant. We've never stayed at this campsite, but have stayed in Wissant and the campsite is close to shops and amenities.

Southwold in Suffolk has a campsite by the sea... there is a road (very quiet) between the campsite and sand dunes though.

Wonderful, sandy, endless beach. about 3 little beach side cafes along the beach - right on the beach so you can have a tea and cake while your child digs in the sand. brilliant pier.... etc...

lots to do in Southwold and surrounding area - it's a beautiful area and very baby/child friendly in Southwold.

Doesn't take long to drive - 2 hours ish i think.

Southwold is lovely, but my in-laws who are camping professionals (every week if they can - they have a van) don't rate the site too much.


They have stayed at a site in Dunwich, just up the road from Southwold ('Cliff house' something) which they say is much better. Also by the beach - some steps to go down and its more pebbly but still lovely. And you'll feel right at home a the the village is almost called 'Dulwich'!

Thank you ladies for your recommendations.

France sounds great, what a brill idea - that trip will def. include some yummy cheese shopping!

Southwold was also highly recommended by a friend of mine recently.

We bought the tent, sleeping bag, gas BBQ and ended up booking in a site near Hastings. They have an indoor pool in case there are any rainy days. Will post about it once we are back.

      All good to hear. Cheers BNG If I’m honest, those fliers give off very bland corporate energy   also. Shouldn’t it be a relaunch party instead of a launch party?    hopefully I’m wrong and it’s great

      The good news is that the Blythe's new leaseholder is Austin Whelan, who runs a chain of very decent Irish pubs, mainly in south London. By all accounts, he has no intention of making any major changes. It reopened last week.

      A builder said that to me once! What I should have said (but thought of it too late) was that given that I was paying him to do a job, I expected that my glass would be full, not half full 🤣 But yes, you are right in this instance!

      Just had a flyer through the door. Posting here for people who haven't had theirs yet. The 50% off food is for three days only, and advance bookings only. I liked the EDT as it used to be, so I really hope the changes won't be too massive. Last time I looked through the window the bar seemed to be still in the same place, but who knows. Think I'll wait a bit to try the food. When The Lordship launched, we went for a meal there and let's say things didn't go smoothly 😂 Anybody who was there will know what I mean 😂 They have redeemed themselves since, I hasten to add 😂
