FROM SEA to SHORE
Last year, having decided on a summer holiday in this country, rather than our usual destination, France, the next question was to choose where to go. We love being within easy reach of the sea, and we also enjoy exploring the countryside, so we eventually opted for the beautiful county of Dorset, on the south coast.
After setting up our outfit at South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park, a quick look at the map showed us that this multi-award-winning site occupies a near perfect location, being only about 10 minutes’ drive from the A35 dual carriageway, which provides excellent access both east and west.
Head south and we found that Poole was only about five miles away, so the latter had to be our first port of call, to stock up with some provisions. We made the 15-minute drive to a superstore conveniently located on the outskirts of town. Shopping completed, it was time to take our first peek at Poole Harbour!
