I've not been much of a traveller, I've crossed the channel twice and thats about it! Im looking for recommendations on beautiful places to camp in the UK mainland. Im looking for specific places, I understand some people like to keep certain spots quiet and thats fine, but if you are willing to share the enjoyment of a place please do.
Ideally im looking for places that will match most of the following;
Now I've heard of lovely places like the New Forest, Lake District, Peak District, Brecon Beacons etc. and so far I havent had an oppertunity to visit any of them (yet). I would love to learn what people think of those different areas; what are their unique or good points, im also looking for recommendations on specific sites to camp within those areas. I live down in the south-west, so closer would be better but im willing to travel on this one.
So for someone who hasnt visited any of the above mentioned beautiful places I suppose the (probably unanswerable) question is.. which is the best? and why?
Thanks for your time and help.
Ideally im looking for places that will match most of the following;
- Within the UK Mainland (ie. a drive away)
- Rivers or Lakes nearby
- Woodland nearby
- Suitable for well managed camp-fires
- If posible I would rather not be on a campsite (busy-area)
