Pilgrim Fathers Caravan Park - Scrooby

The well kept grass of grass of the campsite is a pleasure to park on.

Scrooby is easy to find as you come off the A1 North or the Doncaster Road and as you head along the main road into Scrooby along the Great North Road (A638) and if you click on the link below you will be able to see where the Pilgrim Fathers Pub is located which is also the entrance to the lane which leads to the Caravan Park.

If your looking for peace and quiet and still not far from major transport routes then this site offers just that.

Here is a little insight into the history of Scrooby and the Pilgrim Fathers - There are few rural villages with which the early history of the colonization of the United States is entwined in so interesting a manner as it is with that of Scrooby, a little cluster of cottages surrounded by a few larger residences near the Great Northern Railway, between Retford and Bawtry. The tiny river Ryton still runs its course, as it has done for centuries, spanned at one end of the village street by a water-mill, the ancient stones of which bear the names of the people who cut them in 1710.

Scrooby, now so little noticed, was once the seat of the Archbishops of York, and, curiously enough, in its old archiepiscopal mansion the leaders of the Pilgrim Fathers met here they had completed their project for colonizing New England.

Porth Ysgaden - Overnight and Swimming Vlog

Porth Ysgaden

Beautiful Porth Ysgaden is situated just up from Morfa Nefyn on the Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales. Its a great place to walk, fish, swim or just enjoy the views and the wildlife in any season. In fact the fishing can be very rewarding.

Tracy regularly beats me when it comes to catching

But it isn't for want of trying!!

After a day kayaking or swimming or walking its nice to unwind and take in the views on offer of the Irish Sea.

Parking is easy and overnight is allowed, but for all the info have a look at the travel vlog video by clicking on the link below
