We love Devon, Cornwall and Dorset, this is our third year caravanning and we love having such a beautiful coastline on our doorstep.

I love Cornwall, can't wait to take my daughter on her first trip there this year, we will be heading for Trevone for the rock pools, padstow for the fish and chips and Bude for the beach!

Anywhere beautiful that I can reach by public transport!

[decadance]

We love to go to Rye, Hastings, Camber Sands, Brighton and Hove, lots to do as well as the beaches

[claza93]

We love Cornwall, especially the north coast round Padstow but this year we are heading to the Roseland! So excited to see the sea

[Gertie75]

We have been visiting Perranporth for several years now however this year our holiday was cancelled and we couldn't find anything within our budget nearby so decided to go to North Devon instead.

It was absolutely beautiful, the beaches were as stunning as the Cornish ones however the scenery inland was much prettier, we only had a week and hope to return next year to explore more of the area.

The Northumbrian beaches are gorgeous if you’re not too keen on the heat. The walk out to Lindisfarne is very special.

[funniestpersonyouknow]

We just got back from Tenby - a truly beautiful part of the world. Wonderful beaches, lovely little town and lots of gorgeous places nearby to visit. Miss the sea already!

[Blackforesthotchoc]

Joss Bay in Kent- lovely little cove with rock pools and a sandy beach, white cliffs and occasionally sunshine too

[mynameisntlouise]

We love the Lake District, I visited with family and family friends when I was a teenager and loved it, so my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary there. We're visiting again in a few weeks with our two children!

For Parkdean Resorts our favourite is Ruda at Croyde Bay - years ago as a couple we used to stay there in our motorhome, regardless of the weather or time of year. Later with children we stayed in the lodges at Croyde Burrows and have wonderful memories of both of our two on the beach there for their first tastes of sand & sea!

North Devon coast and Quantocks. Love the scenery . Go once a year , sometimes more. Been going for 30 years plus. Have only been to Dorset once and would love to go again.

[stephloveshoney]

We absolutely love Woolacombe in North Devon. Stunning views, awesome beaches and amazing food!

[angep1969]

We love North Devon and Cornwall. Lots of big sandy beaches, waves to practise body boarding on and stunning countryside. We really feel recharged after a holiday there.

[YanaMumsnet]

Thank you all for taking part. The prize draw winner is fishnships. Congrats!

Just been back from a week in both Devon and Cornwall. in Cornwall l loved Porthleven it had amazing restaurants and an incredible wildness about its harbor. In Devon, we stayed right in the city of Dartmouth a great city to move around in with many places to visit from boats in the Harbour.

Snowdonia is such an amazing place in northwest Wales. We stayed there in a rented caravan and it was so much fun exploring the natural landscape. It was such a picturesque place especially with the mountain.

[Ashton08]

Isle of Wight without a doubt. Lots of fun things to do, making memories.My boys love going there every year seeing what fossils they can find🌈

[mummyuk86]

Our favourite place to visit is Gt. Yarmouth in Norfolk. I use to go their as a child so it holds very fond memories for me growing up. We like to go every Spring if possible - unfortunately we didn't get there this year :(

Cornwall is on our must-do list. We've never been but it looks amazing!

[Shiraznowplease]

It has to be Gower in South Wales. The best beaches, great surfing conditions, Child friendly and best of all near family. There is so much to explore and not too far to go home if the weather turns bad

[feedmewinenow]

Without a doubt Northumberland and if I had to choose, Beadnell Bay! The beach is just absolutely gorgeous; sandy, clean and even better, never busy. The sand dunes allow my children to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and experience the fun of 'surfing' down the dunes on sledges (or if your mum is cheap like me a range of random items including attempting it on. Carrier bags) We've created so many memories such as rockpooling, wave jumping, hide and seek in dunes, sand castle competitions- Beadnell Bay allows children to be children.
And the other bonus? For anyone who has never visited Northumberland and has a man in their life like ours...it's free parking almost everywhere too No crowded beaches but stunning beaches, gorgeous views, beautiful countryside, there is nowhere in the UK that beats it!

[PeaceAndHarmoneeee]

Snowdonia!

We go once of twice a year as it's not far from us. I just love the mountains and scenery, give me mountains over a beach any day!

We usually book some sort of glamping thing but are considering getting our own tent.

There's loads of activities the kids enjoy like hiking, mountain biking, zip world, rafting and bounce below.
