After our posting in the Southern Chapter Meet thread - see here:
Southern Chapter MeetIt occurred to Scooby over the weekend that there must be a range of campsites close to various castles around the UK.
Doo take a look at the FAB pics from the Northern Chapter Meet too with the castle backdrop! Link:
Northern Chapter MeetScooby doo like visiting the odd castle or two and so we seek your assistance with the following:
We would like to draw up a map of recommended campsites close to castles all over the UK.
Weekends away could then be planned to visit such sites - not necessarily all, but if you wished to it could be a challenge to see who can visit the most in 2018!
Anyway, this is where 'Kastles & Kombis' can come together.
Using the info from the Southern Chapter Meet, we would like to start the list with the following in the South:
Lytton Lawn Touring Park Link: Lytton Lawn
