Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Pembrokeshire - loads of boat trips to see seals, dolphins, puffins etc. But a must is the day trip to Skomer Island - totally awesome! You can walk within feet of the puffin burrows and there are litterally thousands of the birds just by the paths, also the spectacle of the shearwaters returning to their burrows at night and rare Choughs.You can also see seals on the rocks, loads of them. Amazing day out if you like wildlife!
Also Northumberland (although clearly out of your prefered area). Trips out to the Farne islands from Seahouses to see the thousands of seabirds and seals and the Grace Darling lighthouse.
In Dorset there is a swannery at Abbotsbury which is worth a visit if you are in the area.
With regards to a site, in Pembrokeshire we stayed at Caerfai Farm in St Davids and would defo reccommend it. Check out my review. It's a bit of a drive to the boat for Skomer but no more than 15 miles I'd say. And there are some boats that go to Ramsay Island from St. David's itself.
Springhill Farm in Norhtumberland comes highly reccommended too.
Now i,m spoilt for choice,i really like the idea of skomer island,it would be a long way to travel for a few days [from east sussex] but i think it would be worth it!
I would also say pembrokeshire. I travelled from newcastle and it was worth the journey. Didnt get on a boat trip as we had our dog with us but still saw a fair few seals whilst walking the coastal path. Best coastal part of the uk i would say. The sites are cheap too which helps towards the fuel bill to get there. We stayed at cream potts site which is a good site and fairly central for touring the coast.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
