quoteSummer is now almost upon us. And we hope the weather Gods won’t play such a cruel trick on us outdoor enthusiasts as they did last year – so finger crossed for day after day of warm, bright sunshine in which to enjoy your many motorhome holidays.
So, how are you going to fill your days as you enjoy all that Great Britain has to offer you while catching a few rays? Well, may we suggest a good old trip to the seaside?
Here are three suggestions to help you plan your next trip and enjoy sea air, relaxing beach walks, fresh fish and chips and the sound of children’s laughter while they play in the sand.
Swanage, Dorset

The area boasts an award-winning Blue Flag beach, a host of leisure activities and a packed programme of family entertainment. The town also offers an array of interesting shops and beautiful floral displays. The more energetic can hire a canoe or pedalo while those wanting something more traditional can watch the antics of seaside classics, Punch and Judy.
While you’re there: Visit Swanage Railway, a premier standard gauge preserved steam railway that operates on the six miles of track between Swanage and Norden, through the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, passing the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle.
