I've been lucky enough to see a lot of the world but my favourite place for a holiday, if the sun's out, is Sandbanks in Dorset, and imparticularly the beach reached by ferry at Studland.

We used to rent a house on the spit of land which connects Sandbanks to the mainland at Poole. On one side you have great views of the English Channel, stretching from the Needles to old Harry. On the otherside it over looked the second largest natural harbour in the world, and had great sunsets.

Sandbanks, Isn't that one of the dearest places to buy property?

I was lucky enough when i worked for airtours to visit Brazil, they have a custom built area for tourists about 20 miles away from San Salvador.. Beautiful place.

When I was a kid.......our choice of a holiday was Morecambe,Bridlington,Tenby or Pwllheli.........

Loved the Scilly Isles but now anywhere I can put my canoe in and dissapear for a week in the wilderness, Bowron Lakes B.C. has to be one of the best.

In this country it has to be St Ives.
Abroad Florida at the moment. I would like to visit everywhere that has a theme park as most of my family are coasties!

Took my Australian partner to Blackpool when we visited in September...she couldn,t get over the Illuminations....and the trams...

Blackpool is cool, I have a lot of childhood memories there (and adult ones!!) Don't like it when its wet and cold tho. I got scared stiff about four years ago when we went in the haunted house just before you go on the pleasure beach, i lost my shoe so went back for it then all of a sudden freddie krugeur came running after me!! Then you run into the pub where everyone laughs at you!! If you've been in then you'll no what i mean! Apparantly its not half as bad nowadays tho.
