Ainsdale beach near Southport, a beautifully clean beach. Well worth a visit!

We visit Ainsdale beach on a sunny Monday in July (2024). We did not expect it to be so nice. Access from Shore Road, Southport PR8 2QA. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

We stay at Willow Bank Holiday home and Touring park whilst our Son takes part of his D of E award, due to the distance away from home. We stay in at a lovely site which is a prime location for visits to Southport and Ainsdale. July 2024.

A lovely touring site, close to Southport. It is a caravan and camping club affiliated site but we only realised this once we had arrived. We found the facilities to be very good and we were very happy with our pitch. The site is very clean and well maintained, family and dog friendly. Wardens were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this site. July 2024

A fantastic day out on Saturday 22nd June 2024. Take a quick look at some vintage, classic and modern vehicle collections, various stalls and events in the arena. With so much to do and see we didn't get round to everything, we recommend spending the full day, to give yourself enough time to get round it all.

We visit Haven at Marton Mere Holiday village for a long weekend during Easter half term. Unfortunately for us, we didn't know that Storm Kathleen was on the forecast and our lightweight awning did not fare well! However this did not spoil it and we had a great weekend. Marton Mere is a great base for families with touring Caravans, especially if you want to explore or attend events in Blackpool.

Some activities were not available due to the time of year but there was still lots to do and look at. We highly recommend a trip to ...

When they were little we also used to take stick on window alarms ( we would stick ours on with blue tack) which sound when the window is opened, you can get them on ebay, amazon etc. Hope you all have a lovely holiday 👍

      Why should we buy a second hand car that we don't know how its been looked after, when we have had this one from new for 4 and a half years! We paid £3000.00 advanced payment and have been paying a monthly lease for four and a half years. |The point is that, when we entered the lease contract we were told we could buy it at the end of the lease but Motability have removed this option mid lease without informing any Motability customers!
