  • Hello everyone,
    Another fun filled trip - this time staying in a Suffolk farmyard.
    It was absolutely brilliant - we had a wonderful three nights at Minden House Farm near Halesworth in Suffolk.
    We stayed in the yard next to the stable and a few yards from the cow shed. We loved every minute.
    The site is called Minden House, a Camping and Caravanning Club CS and it's near the pretty town of Halesworth in Suffolk. It a twenty minute bus ride away from the stunning seaside town of Southwold. We've visited Southwold a few times over the last few years and it's become one of our favourite places in the UK.
    So join us on our trip and come and meet the cats, horses and cows on the farm. Plus a bus trip to the seaside at Southwold.
    This was a wonderful short trip and we will be back!!
    Dave & Sue

    Cows are my biggest fear too!! 😨 That was a nice little site and close to another town to walk to.
    Love a bus ride you sure do get to see more.
    Southwold is a pretty town we've been there years ago!
    Oh looking forward to your Scotland trip ❤

      😃 Sue takes the mick about the cows but they make me nervous!! These were fine behind the fences😃
      Southwold is great - we only visited in about five years back and we've been back a couple of times since. Love it there Anna, like going back in time. And yep the buses are so cheap and easier to get around - no worrying about park ups etc.
      We're like kids at Christmas waiting fo Scotland. Not long now!!

    You need to eat more steak and hamburger so the cows will be afraid of you! LOL Cool tour of the area. that church was beautiful and had some nice architecture. That old red telephone booth was super cool. Those are an antique around here. Nice road trip and lots of interesting places visited. The beach and lighthouse were awesome. Nice pin striping down the side of the RV. Kristy gives me that same look when I get too close to the branches. LOL Fun adventure. Have a great day.

    Hi Dave and Sue,
    Have to say we think we agree with Sue, this is our favourite site we have seen you guys stay at yet. But then, like you two, we are never happier when we are somewhere quiet, and preferably surrounded by animals!❤🐾. What a beauty Zulu the horse was! 🐎. And such a friendly farm cat 🐈😻. Well done for facing your cow phobia Dave😂🐄👍. Walk into town looked nice, lovely pubs! Always a treat to go for a nice pub meal out. Pete rather enjoys a pint of ghost ship, even in the bottles🍻. Wow southwold beach was beautiful 😍 ⛱️. How much for a beach house?🤯😱. That is more than our house is worth! 🏠. You two sit at our favourite bus seats too, top deck, on the front left😊 🚍. Looks like a really nice chilled out few days away in pretty Suffolk. Thanks for taking us along, and have a fun filled weekend Dave and guys, look forward to your Scotland videos👍
    All the best
    Shell and Pete 😊👍

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers guys. This place was brilliant! The owner warned us beforehand that the cows might wake us up, but it was Zulu the Horse chatting to one of the cats that was our alarm call 😃😃
      Two of the cats were near wild but the little white one was very friendly.
      Yes the cows were fine as long as they were kept in the barn 😃
      Southwold is so beautiful- it’s only our third visit - it’s a bit like going back in time - and the Ghost Ship was very nice indeed! 😃
      Apparently, Southwold is one of the most expensive places in the UK - a beach hut went a few weeks back for £300k 😮😮. Completely crazy. Each plank of wood must be about £3,000 each 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
      The buses we’re taking are a revelation - they’re so cheap and convenient!
      Anyway have a brilliant weekend you two.
      Hope fully good weather - we’re on our way North 🤞🤞🤞

    You sure got around to a few places but managed to fit some pints in. It's an area I've never been to but looks quite lovely with the quaint villages. I'm not too bad with cows they're usually docile. Did I see a lot of speeding 😂The video was lovely jubbly 👍

      Flippin eck Paul. £250k for a BeachHut!! This world is a madder place than I realised.
      Yep that area of Suffolk is really beautiful. Lots of chocolate box villages dotted around. Ha yes F1 Florrie and the Ghost Ship was very good 😃

    Hi Dave and Sue, this looked a nice stay at the farm, not keen on cows, but love horses. A lovely walk around the town. The look inside the church was stunning, beautiful stained glass windows. The pub looked a good place to stop. The beach and sea at Southwold was beautiful. A lovely day out. Nice weather too. Thank you for showing us around x Julie and Tony x

    What a great farm to park your caravan. Love all farm animals, but that white cat was so sweet. Guess she’s not a wild barn cat. They usually aren’t that friendly. Nice town. Beaches are the best. Those ski food were out on a rough day. 😂😊

      It was a fantastic stay. The owner was worried that we would be woken by the cows, but they were fine. The Horse did call to be put out early on each morning but that was fine too!!
      Ah yes, lovely little cat - there were two barn cats, but they kept their distance.
      Southwold is wonderful - we first there a few years back - it's a bit like a Victorian seaside resort - all very sedate and quaint. But so very expensive - crazy prices for those little Beach Huts, we couldn't believe it!!
      Hope you two are well - back at Scout Ridge yet for the Spring?

      We did the Adnams brewery tour a few years back. Didn’t take to Ghost Ship at that time but that well kept pint was a beauty. So will definitely be going for more of that. Broadside sounded good too - nice strength 👍👍
      Halesworth was a pretty little place. We really enjoyed the trip even it was only three days. 👍👍

    Well done folks, another lovely video showing your adventures, as David said I would be no where near that horse, don't do horses at all... they scare me a lot.. Bring lots of warm and waterproof clothes on your trip to Scotland. The weather is not warm at the moment and it is still very wet unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing your adventures up here. Take care both and stay safe xx

      Yep it’s been so wet here too, hopefully things improve in the next few weeks 🤞🤞🤞. We’re bringing lots of warm and wet gear - we don’t know anything different in the van, so far! Don’t think we would know what to do if it was dry and warm 😃
