Four hours north where i live in East lothian. Quite a few clean empty sandy beached, John Muir walkways what can be as lon or short as you want. Area has a fair few caravan sites. My town (North Berwick) Has two and town is a 15 minute walk from them. Plenty pubs and restaurants. We also have a train station if you fancy a pop into Edinburgh. 20 minutes to Waverley station and costs just over six quid off peak.
But everybody's drunk ;)

If you're taking the bike then try Poolsbrook CC site. Easy for you to get to, just off the M1 (no traffic noise though) and on the doorstep of all the great biking roads in the Peak District. If you've not been to Matlock it's a bikers paradise on Sundays. Poolsbrook also has a "lake" and park just outside the gates for a pleasant stroll.

Carry on up the M62 John. You cant miss the place. (y) If you do, your in the North Sea. :) They used to have white phone boxes, even before they got telephones. o_O
Oi ... the phone boxes are cream, not white ... we've still got them too ... along with the 'monopoly' of only being able to get phone lines through Kingston Communications as there's no BT here! :mad:

I'll echo Gromett's comments about Louth, but then I'm biased - I live there! If you do come, let me know & I'll give you some more specific places to see (& pubs to sample).

If you don't want to go far, there is always The Ship Inn at Sewerby. I've never been, but enough people have recommended it that it's on my 'to do' list.

Sitting tonight decided I wanted to get away for a few days, well up to a week. Ok he says sort it out and we will go, now stumped as to where. Like to be near water, but not essential, some decent walking, ie strolling not hiking, or biking and ale. Serves me right but just for once would like not to have to 'sort it out'. Happy for ths, rallies, cl/cs sites.
Go on where would you head?
Hebden Bridge CC, about 2 hrs

Have you tried Northumberland? Lovely coast Durham is a great city with an aire on rugby club site and Hadrians wall is really interesting! Have a great trip!
If the weather is good this would be my choice - Northumberland coast, as much or little walking as you want.

We were heading for Flappit springs, but our friend has just had a throat operation, and he loves to talk, have decided to stay away so as not to tempt him out of his voice rest, hence my 'where shall we go'

Oooh - Ironbridge gorge is easy on a motorbike!

Only trouble was this pillion was carted off from one of the museums in the back of an ambulance instead of on the back of a Blackbird (may have been an Africa Twin though, twas a long time ago) and Pete literally had to chase the ambulance in real life since he hadn't a clue where Telford Hospital A&E was! LOL (I wasn't ill, just severely hypo)
