Take a trip to the seaside with your caravan

If you’re hitching up your touring caravan and heading down to Devon, why not visit the resort of Sidmouth? It has been described as “a feast of visual delight” by the Poet Laureate John Betjeman and for good reasons.

Make the most of your stay by visiting the Donkey Sanctuary where more than 12,000 donkeys have been cared for in nearly 40 years. It’s also great if you’re taking children as they can get up close to the residents.

If you’re heading east to Norfolk, try Wells-next-the-Sea – the quaint fishing town with long sandy beaches. There is plenty to do from bird watching to galleries and exhibitions. You can even take a boat trip to see the colony of common grey seals.

If you fancy a quick tipple, visit Whin Hill Cider in the main town car park and sample some of their cider, perry or apple juice.

The south coast of England is next on our agenda with the seaside town of Swanage. It’s a great place for families with its award winning Blue Flag beach and resident Punch and Judy show.

One of its great attractions is the Swanage Railway that runs from Swanage to Norden passing through some great sights such as the Isle of Purbeck and the ruins of Corfe Castle.

Wherever you plan to go with your tourer caravan, don’t forget to pack your deck chairs and make the most of the summer.
