No not really. The question was what would YOU do. I said, I would go to Pembrokeshire. Dorset is just a few mintues away, and doesn't offer me quite the same attractions as Pembrokeshire does for camping...!

I live in Pembrokeshire and its unbelievably beautiful

I like Dorset. Nice beaches, lots of fishing by all accounts, nice restaurants.


jollygreengiant - 19/7/10 at 02:29 PM

I think it would have to be Pembrokeshire, far to many grockles visit the other place.

Dorset is beautiful. The area around Lyme Regis and Charmouth is great, nice food, nice walks, fossil hunting, Chesil beach (and Chesil Sports Cars!) nearby...

If you want a lovely campsite, try googling Monkton Wylde.

Gets my vote.

Cheers

Dorset is full of Grockles and old people! - nice part of the country tho!

Pembrokshire is another beautiful place but a bit more hard core (and that's just the drive through Wales!!)

......both are ace, I went for Pembrokshire but is the Lake District out of the question?

Don't know enough about the other places to comment, but I'm going camping in Abersoch in a couple weeks and can't wait!!!


mcerd1 - 19/7/10 at 04:45 PM

it might help if we knew what you wanted to do when you get there

my vote is for none of the above

how about the small isles:

OK its our 5th wedding anniversary and we normally go abroad which is normally my idea.
But this year SWMBO has got her own way but cannot decide on Dorset or Pembrokeshire.
These are about the only 2 places in the UK she hasnt visited.

Now let me see if I can remember what she likes to do.......
Walking, scenery, eating out, fossils, ancient monuments such as stone circles and barrows etc. Also flora and fauna, quaint village shoppe`s and moaning a lot about freezing in a 7

Not been to Pembrokeshire, but Dorset is just down the road from me. Very nice area and covers most of the things that your swimbo likes. Stonehenge and other bizzare lanscape scenery are close by.

Have to be Pembrokeshire.

I do like Dorset a lot, but I have not been to Pembrokeshire, so decision made.


liam.mccaffrey - 19/7/10 at 10:24 PM

If you like walking, you need to check out the pembrokeshire coast national park before deciding not to go there!!

linky

Plus I have an ancient monument in my garden which you are welcome to look at (I really do)
