WILLINGCOTT - WOOLACOMBE [93]




Wednesday 27th August – Sunday 31st August 2008.

If you need to tow between Minehead and Woolacombe forget the A39. It wasn’t designed for very much that exists in the 21st century but that is probably one of the things that make this area so popular with tourists. I used the HGV advised route for North Devon along the B roads across Exmoor.

Willingcott Caravan Club site was suffering from the effects of the 2008 British summer. Predominantly on grass it was suffering from over a month of almost continuous rain. The site is very popular and in view of the now familiar climate it probably needs many more hardstandings than it has. Once again as at Lakeside I managed to get one, but had to feel sorry for the majority that were on grass. It will probably put off many of the novice caravanners for life.

There is a bus service between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe that runs along the B3343 and a pub/restaurant is a steady walk away. If you need any parts Mullacott Caravan and Marine Ltd is a short drive away. A fish and chip van visits the site on Saturday evening.

Analogue TV signal good.
Digital signal available.

£23.60 per night [3 adults]
