Yorkshire Dales/Forest of Bowland.
Adult only site, no tents. Pods and lodge. ??? Worth a look. I go here but take a caravan and bike in the van.

Re: Recommend me a weekend away
We've just come back from Newtown (mid Wales) stopped here https://www.maesmawrfarm.co.uk/
4 berth lodge with hot tub on the decking and 10 days of cracking weather. Took 2 bikes in back of van and covered everywhere from Ludlow to Aberystwyth and Malvern to Dolgellau, mach loop, Long mynd, Bala etc etc and only 3 hours from South Leicestershire.
No family entertainment on site so mainly couples without kids.

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

Re: Recommend me a weekend away
I am heading up north in Scotland at the beginning of May, Loch Ness, Ulapool and beyond, just getting a bit nervous of another lock down.
I will be on my S10, but remember its not about the bike, its all about the journey and the people you meet on the way.

Re: Recommend me a weekend away
It depends whether you want to stay in a town or out in the sticks and whereabouts you live. If you want to stay in a town with good roads not far Harrogate is great. We got a good deal a the White Hart hotel and the Blues Bar down the road is great. Shrewsbury is also a nice town with lots of good pubs and restaurants with the Welsh border roads just outside.

Cardigan Bay, West Wales, is lovely. Some 'great biking roads' around, including the coast road, and Devils Bridge. Amazing sea...it's a marine nature reserve and there are seals, dolphins etc. Great food at St Dogmels Farmers Market. Loads of holiday cottages to chose from.
Used to live there before we moved to Cornwall.

anywhere in Wales except the S.E or NE perhaps. Devon and Cornwall before the hordes. Lake District. a bit predictable.
