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.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
