Guest 24fulltimerv Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My Wife and I are fulltime RVers in the USA and have been doing it for 4+ years. We will be coming to the UK next year: from May until September 2009. We will not be bringing the RV but we will be staying with my Wife's sister in East Anglia. We would like some ideas as to where to go in the UK. We would rather sigtsee in the country rather than cities. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakepilote Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi Hope you have a great time next year. The New Forest is well worth a visit. There is also some great country side in Wales. Snowdonia is great for walking and sight seeing. The Elan valley( Rhyader) is very scenic, as it has many dams and reservoirs which feed the midlands with all of its water. Enjoy :-D :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The North East of England has some spectacular views plus "Holy Island", the Farne Islands, Berwick the "walled" City, "Craster Kippers" originate from here in a quaint little fishing village and much much more. where ever you go I hope you have a nice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Don't know how far you intend to travel in U.K but some of these may be of interest. North west of Scotland and the Western Isles for rugged mountain scenery and a 'remote' feel. North Wales for the same ( on a smaller scale) but a lot more people about. Lake district, central Wales, pennines ( Peak District ) and the border country between England and Scotland for lovely scenery - but again, some of these get busy. For quaint old fishing villages - Devon and Cornwall. If you are staying in East Anglia you will be near some lovely beaches in Suffolk and Norfolk - although this side of England often has cool sea breezes so it's often cool on the beach. (I have avoided describing anywhere as 'the best' as that is a matter of personal choice). Hope you enjoy your stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow-Chasers Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 There are so many places it is hard to recommend. Do your research before hand and find RV friendly sites, as some are just not big enough over here. If visiting devon and Cornwall, riverside in exmoor are RV friendly (devon) and Itchy feet in cornwall are a RV importer, and have touring sites for RV's! You will feel well at home there! So much to see! Just come and have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm guessing this will be your first visit to UK, if so you will proboly find the countryside unlike anything you will be used to, villages with small fields and footpaths everywhere, the house I'm sitting in typing this is 250years old, so are several of my nabours houses. I've lived almost all my life in the country and love it, but don't totaly give up on the cities, I'm thinking of places like Chester, not sure off hand when most of the buildings in the main street where built, but surfice to say it would be before the pilgrim fathers where a twinkle in their grandparents eyes!

Enjoy your stay. Mick H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 West coast of Scotland should be high on your list. Plenty of historical interest, and following the routes taken by tour buses will get that RV just about everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROON Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 oops. Oh so he isn't. In that case the Northern side will be much more economical probably. Yorkshire, Lake District and wales for example. In order to savour the British hospitality guest houses would probably make you really welcome and make you feel you are 'one of us'. As pointed out above, some of our cities are well worth a day trip to and when you do come.... please let us know where you are... we would all love to keep in touch.

Assuming a car will be the main mode of transport then they can travel pretty much where they want to. If its culture they are after then skip the west coast of Scotland and head for Blackpool illuminations next September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
