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.

      No mow May

      By malumbu · Posted

      Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.

      Just found a link for LB Southwark wildlife and ecology. Suggest all those listing in disgust to read some of this.  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife

      My word, we are in agreement on something!  It's good that there are wildlife areas. I cultivate one too.  But this thread is a bit knee jerk. Time would be better spent lobbying Southwark and other big landowners to create more wildlife havens.
