Favourite Holiday Destinations?

Nah, not Ibiza, couldn't think of anywhere worse. We like walking, so may try the Lake District - but I always imagine it constantly pouring with rain. I personally love the Channel Islands and have been to Robin Hoods Bay too. Some lovely photographs on this thread.

Btw, JKL, if going to the Norfolk Broads be careful of the Norwich fans.

I'd be actively seeking them out and shout 'going down' at them

The gold coast is a great place to go, I had a great time there, and Brisbane is one of my favorite cities.

Inside the Caribbean, St Lucia would be my holiday destination of choice. It has everything you would need, with a nice mixture of typical Caribbean beaches and a rugged volcanic outline with the spectacular 'pitons' standing out.

For something completely different, the Western Province of the Solomon Islands is the most beautiful place I have ever been. It has the World's largest lagoon, which has for the most part remained untouched by developers. The standard of accommodation is not fabulous, but it is astonishingly beautiful and the scuba diving/snorkelling is beyond compare IMHO.

Where's that?

Somewhere northern and dire.

This is the same place, it's a Lancashire seaside town, JKL.

Morecambe? Southport? Lytham St Annes? ~ Surely not Blackpool?

Morecambe! You were there recently-ish! Saw the stuatue and all!

Aye, it's Morecombe Bay and it's lovely.

Well it's no Devon coast, but nout wrong with Morecambe - though I remember it a bit sandier than your pic?

It depends on what the tide is doing. When it's out there are miles of sand.

Snorfle

Favourite overseas destinations would be Rhodes and The Dordogne.

Ok for Taips....... 'Love Walking in wilderness with no prospect of getting eaten by big beastie things'

It all depends on what type of holiday you want!

Tassie.



And in another five and half weeks, I'll be there . . .

Where's the ice cream van?

About three hours walking and two hours driving <- thataways.
Of course, Tassie does beaches, too:

Hmmm, I should probably have shrunk that one a bit . . .
. . . but it's still a good beach:

Almost as nice as North Cornwall . . .

Phurt. North Cronwall doesn't have this:

Or this:

Or this:

And this is about 50 miles away . . .

But there's no character. It's all very nice but it's very much, "same old, same old." There's not even any flowers!

I didn't see any flowers on those boring old beaches.
But if you want flowers . . .
