Looking for coastal route tour advice

Trickier with a caravan than a motorhome as you are less able to "wing it" and an element of forward planning is required dependant on which sites are still open so late in the year. Lots of interesting places around the UK but you may find you are constrained by the proximity of sites to places you may wish to visit.

Had you been a motorhomer I would have suggested finishing off with a stop-off at "Mick's Monster Burgers" up the hill overlooking QA.

An ambitious plan.  My own go to places would include these…

North Cornwall - the headlands and bays either side of the Camel estuary and bike hire on the Camel Trail

North Devon - the RHS garden at Rosemoor.

Somerset- Cheddar gorge.

SouthWales - St Fagans museum.

North Wales - the heritage railways at Porthmadog.

Cumbria - the sand dunes at Eskmeals and a meal at the Brown Cow Inn at Waberthwaite.

Southern Scotland -Culzean Castle.

Central Scotland  - Glasgow of course 

The highlands - the Cuillins on Skye again.

But as for caravansites along the way ? More or less any that are convenient  would do.  Good luck with your own choices.

Hi, One and All,

We are Mark, Julie and our dog Harley. We have recently returned to caravanning after some 25 years due to our dog being unable to travel abroad due to age and health issues. We are looking to take our first long road trip from this weekend and we are seeking advice on good coastal routes and sites to stop over at along the way. We will be starting from Newquay in Cornwall and looking to head up the west coast via wales and on up into Scotland, then back down the east coast ending in Portsmouth around December. Any advice welcomed and thanks for taking the time to read this. 
cheers 🍻

Mark and Julie

Moved from Introductions in the hope that more people will see your post earlier and, hopefully, give you some advice ready for the weekend.

Your day light hours in the far north will be very short so plan accordingly.

If you delayed the North till the summer you will have much more time to enjoy the scenery.
