My husband has trouble walking and uses a mobility scooter. Sometimes we would like to be able to leave the site without taking the motor home but many sites are on country roads with no pavements. Can anyone suggest somewhere with a paved walkway from the site to a local village/town/cafe? It would be good to just go out for a ‘walk’.

Just a few suggestions. Morton in Marsh, Broadway, Seacroft, Cayton Village, Tewkesbury, Lower Wensleydale, Great Yarmouth, Henley Four Oaks (although path a bit narrow until you get into Henley) Cherry Hinton. There are probably many more. It really depends how far you want to travel in the scooter, and how far you can walk?

There are many. Cirencester, Baltic Wharf (Bristol) and Berwick Seaview are three possibles. However, we really need to know where in the country you are.

Melrose in actually in the (small) town, White House Beach likewise though a seaside village. Old Hartley near Whitley Bay has a good flat walkway to Whitley Bay, it's 2.5 miles and sorry I don't know what your range is? But then the rest of the coast there down to Tynemouth is also available and again on a good wide walkway. I'll try and think of some more.

Castleton in Derbyshire is on the edge of town with walkable path, Thirsk Racecourse site is again on edge of town, Ferry Meadows Peterborough has plenty of opportunities for walks from site as does Clumber. From memory, not that reliable these days, Littlehampton might fit the bill. At Bridlington you can walk to Sowerby Hall or down into Brid itself.
