Unexpected opportunity to have a few days break next week and would love some recommendations

If it’s only a few days it cant be too far away so deciding where to go rather depends on which part of the country you live.

I was going to say that.

I think if you like rugged, dramatic scenery, which is hilly and has beautiful beaches, similar to Northumberland and Cornwall, I’d go for either Pembrokeshire, or the North Yorkshire coast.

Another vote for Norfolk - and make sure you visit Kings Lynn. England's third largest port (after London and Southampton) in the 14th century and then it gradually died it is a feast of glorious medieval buildings.

Norfolk is our families favourite seaside area. We recently rented a houseboat moored up in Beccles andhad a dayboat to explore the southern Broads and we are off to the seaside in August.

We have just returned from Dorset or how about the Isle of Wight

Wells next the sea Norfolk is a good base

I'd go for Primrose53's recommendations!

Portmeirion, North Wales. If you have never been and can afford to stay in the Village then you must go there. It ticks all of your boxes.

Norfolk is our favourite family holiday Holt,Blakeney and Wells next Sea .Lovely beaches.

Thanks so much for such quick and helpful replies so far! Lots of to consider already …

I’d second Norfolk, Holt is a lovely little town and nearby Weybourne has a fantastic beach with a long coastal walk. There is a vintage railway that links them to Sherringham for an old fashioned seaside experience.

Norfolk. We have fantastic coast, heathland, forests, The Broads, scores of pretty market towns, no motorways and we are not densely populated.

West Wales so many beautiful quiet beaches and coastal villages. Saundersfoot/Wiseman’s Bridge near Tenby is a favourite of mine.

Suffolk/Norfolk lots of stunning beaches and the walking is fabulous.

Anglesey another great spot, we have done some great walks here.

Finally Saltburn on sea, good beaches and more great inland walks.
