East Anglia/South East for a weekend, without children, where would you go?

[TrillianAstra]

And why?

And what would you do there?

I repeat, without children.

No sexual details please, what would you do outside the hotel room

[NormaSknockers]

I'd probably say Cambridge.

Some really lovely places to wanedr round, good shopping, some nice hotels, nice places to eat & there's a lovely pub on a big green with a canal where boats punt on & you can take your beer outside & clap & laugh when someone falls in sit in the sun

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

If the weather's fine and you go to North Norfolk, there's a beach at Winterton on Sea where you can

a. See seals frolicking the waves
b. Swim in clean water
c. Shag in the sand-dunes about a mile left of the car park, as trippers never get that far

[NormaSknockers]

Ooopss sorry about the spelling etc, that'll teach me to hit post instead of preview!!

[TrillianAstra]

Oops, forgot big diclaimer: I live in Cambridge.

Seals sound cool PerArdua - would you stay there overnight or go somewhere else?

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

Gah. Frolic in the waves. I don't know how you would frolick a wave and so I told the judge...

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

From there it's an easy short drive to the fantastic hotel at Holkham (about a zillion stars for food) who's name escapes me. But do a search for Highgate on sea or similar and it should come up

[TrillianAstra]

Was it this one Shiney?

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

Don't go to Titchwell.

[Katymac]

Southwold & I would eat & window shop & wander

DH would sit in the cottage watching the sport

[Hassled]

I would go to Wells or Blakeney, somewhere like that. Assuming you like hearty coastal walk.

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

Wow, is Oxfordshire in the South East now?

[NormaSknockers]

PMSL you won't want to go there then

Norwich? Dedham is lovely too!

[TrillianAstra]

Katymac have you ever stayed in Southwold? Adnams Brewery is there...

[Dior]

Dedham (stay in Colchester)
Wells-next-the-Sea
Southwold
Aldeburgh

[Katymac]

Stay there every year for the last 8 yrs (sometimes 2 or 3 times)

We love it - we stay in a cottage just down from where the brewery horses used to be stabled

[anonandlikeit]

Soutjwold, Aldeburgh, both have fantastic places to eat.
Walberswick

Suffolk coast is nice & the people are lovely

[anonandlikeit]

We are lovely but can't spell, Southwold

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

Oh well, Suffolk if you want your coast tame...

[wonderingwondering]

London! Lots of lovely walks, theatre, art galleries, decent restaurants, pubs. Late nights in lovely bars, then a stagger back to a hotel.

You can do countryside/beach with children. Culture, fine food and late nights are more difficult with them in tow.

[Goober]

I live in Suffolk!!

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

I live in Norfolk

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

wonderingwondering - proper beach shagging is impossible with children in tow...

[Hassled]

No, no, no - it has to be North Norfolk. Look at Wells - how can you resist?

[Katymac]

I'm in Norfolk too
