Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere but now that "and Motorhome" has been included in the name of the club for some years I wonder if it is time to start describing sites in a way that helps motorhome members aswell as caravanners? For example, Exeter Racecourse shows only one item under "Get Walking" which is Becky Falls. It doesn't mention it's a 14 miles drive to get there including some nice narrow roads. A great recommendation for those members with a car at their disposal but not the best recommendation to make for motorhome members.

Excellent point. There should be a minimum standard information on each site description covering the basics of enjoying the locality without a car, e,g. public transport links, nearest pub/restaurant/shop and walking/cycling route safety. Tips on MH parking options at local points of interest would also be good. Wouldn’t require much effort to compile such information and would save a lot of time for MH owners having to trawl through reviews in the hope it’s buried in there somewhere (often is).

TTDA , Bodmin Moor is worth a look too.

👍😁 We love Bodmin Moor as well. One of our trips out when staying at Bodinnick. Back to West Taphouse, tiny little lane that drops under railway line, out just West of Trago Liskeard, jink across road and then a very narrow road climbing up onto Moor. Skirts Carnglaze I think. Golitha Falls was one of our favourite walks, but we have done the wilder ones up Rough Tor and Brown Willy as well. Can’t do it with MH, at least not much of the stuff we love. The churches are really interesting, I recall one where the Vicar had no congregation, so he made cardboard people? Might have been Warleggan🤔 Dozmary Pool, trying to see Excalibur.😂 when we had the van, and left it down in Marazion, we often travelled solo, so would take to the moorland roads the stretch of the A30 near Temple that was always bottled up. Not with van on though😱 Recall being totally underwhelmed by Jamaica Inn, many years ago though. It had a horrendous stuffed kitten tableau that sent me out throwing up. Hopefully gone now, it deserves to be much nicer. Gorgeous place. You are very lucky.....Only we could get excited about King Doniert’s Stone!😁
