Well its nearly new year and thoughts turn to next years holiday. Me and the missus have only been motorhoming for a few years and mostly gone to Scotland and up here in the North East.Shes been asking where I fancy going usually in Autumn and I dont have a clue. I just wondered if anyone out there in Wildcamping land has any ideas. She wont go abroad though. Mad I know, until she retires. Ill try and persuade her. Im thinking of Wales maybe? Never been in years, no idea of places to go, places to wild and if she has her way , camp sites. So.…..Wales, a good idea?
 
Apart from boat price have you thought of ireland north or south in august,some nice sites on west coast donegal.

I did three weeks round Ireland (North and South) - absolutely fabulous - the best parts are along that west coast and the further south you are, the friendlier the people are - Truly the most open and welcoming people, I have ever met! The closer you get to Northern Ireland the more reserved people become - I found this quite sad.
Theres a couple of point though
1) Sadly, this site doesnt cover WC in Ireland :( (Use 'Park 4 a night app , intuition and common sense - They are that friendly in Ireland it really felt like it just wasn't an issue.
2) There is no such thing as a National Trust and so visiting places very quickly gets expensive.
3) The ferry there and back will cost you - but travelling by ferry is pretty painless compared to airports (not that you's be taking you motorhome to an airport anyway!)

Ive also been round Wales many times - absolutely great too - bit cheaper as no ferry required and things like National Trust / English Heritage / CADW properties a plenty. Best place in my opinion are over to the West. Dont miss the Llyn peninusla or Pembrokeshire!

If you were choosing between the two then its down to time and money. Ireland - I wouldnt bother for less than three weeks and thats rushing it and missing out most of Northern Ireland! Much better two months. Wales - you can have some impact on that West coast with just two weeks free.

The Hebrides are excellent too and the ferries are so cheap as subsidised by the Scottish government. - They are much bleaker than Ireland or Wales though so depends what rocks your boat! That said, the best pie 'shop' in the world is on Harris - its called Croft 36 https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowU...ris_Outer_Hebrides_The_Hebrides_Scotland.html


Enjoy!
