Ian W Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 do NOT go to the lake district!! lovely area, FAR too many people though you want better scenery and less people? head to the scottish highlands mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Looking for somewhere cheap. Must be near water (lake or sea) and be quiet. Somewhere in Devon or Cornwall would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gord R Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Lake District will be packed at the time of year - i live on one of the main route up to the lakes and its bedlem atm - and the "travellers" are everywhere as its appleby show. If you dont mind travelling and wanting stunning scenery i find the west coast of scotland very nice. Some very nice roads to play on as well!

Wayney Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Wot about the Isle of Man, no speed limits, and you can drift on the sandy beaches when the tide is out, bit like TopGear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyj22 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Southend The first pier was planned in 1828 and a 600ft wooden section opened in June 1830. The length had increased to 1.25 miles by 1846, making Southend Pier the longest pier in Europe and probably the World. In August 1885, a replacement iron pier was planned and work began in 1888 to the design of james Brunless. The pier opened on 24th August 1890. £10,000 of the £80,000 cost was spent on the new electric railway. An extension opened in 1898 making it the longest pier in the world at 7080ft. On July 25th 1908, the upper deck of the pier extension opened, followed by the doubling of the rail track and the Prince George steamer extension in 1929. During World War II, the pier was used by the Navy. Huge popularity followed the war with the electric train carrying 4,713,082 passengers in its first season ( 1949/50 ) and an additional one million people passing through the turnstiles. However, falling trade led to a financial survey in 1970 and the pier`s entertainments were franchised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
