Advantages: Beaches, attractions Disadvantages: English weather
Torquay also known as 'The English Riviera' got its name from the ancient Saxon hamlet of Torre and the Quay it sits on. Well known for its mild climate, there are many palm trees growing all around the area. Torquay was made popular in Victorian times, I'm sure many people reading this review will have visited Torquay on holiday as a child.
Torquay is made up of many regions, which have been added to over the years. The Willows, Watcombe, Saint Marychurch, Babbacombe, Wellswood, The Warberries, Ellacombe, Plainmoor, Tormohun (although this is known locally as just Torquay town centre), Torre, Livermead, Shiphay, Barton, Cockington, Chelston, Upton and Hele village.
There are many beaches in Torquay, obviously some busier than others. While some are easy to get to, others are hidden away or quite steep to get to. 2 examples ...
Advantages: Lovely surroundings Disadvantages: Quite pricey compared to other sites
I have used tis campsite for the last three years as it always provides what we need. It is very easy to find just off the M271, definitely best to get to it from this side, not to go through the town of lyndhurst first as it is always very crowded in this very small town and will take ages to get through. Ashurst train station is also only a 5 minute walk away so you could get the train too. It takes both caravans and tents.
You must always book for bank holiday weekend which you can conveniently do online. They changed the rules slightly this year which was a bit cheeky, it is now a four night minimum over the bank holiday but it turned out we quite liked the extra night. If you intend to use the site a lot it is also worth joining the forestry commision club as there are many sites they own and joining gives you a small discount ...
Advantages: A historical building Disadvantages: disappointing and spoilt by the owners
CASTLE LODGE
It was a family day out in Ludlow and whilst I was sitting resting on the bench, waiting for my hubby to return from checking the car and the parking fees, I noticed this really old Tudor style house opposite and on closer inspection discovered that it was open to the public. We didn?t go in straight away, but I did drop a big hint like, ?I want to go in there before we go home? to the family, so that they would not be surprised after the visit to the castle that we went in here.
After we had a lovely lunch in the café situated next door to the lodge after a amazing trip around the castle. We were all in high spirits and enjoying our food and refreshments, I dropped the bombshell that I wanted to see the house, they did try to dissuade me as they were now getting slightly tired and wanted to do a little retail ...
