We have just returned from a lovely weekend at Southport. The site is immaculate, the new section is lovely and open although a bit more exposed to the sea breeze, which can be problematic for awnings. It's easy to walk into the town and there are plenty of cycle paths for getting about safely without needing to use the car. The park next door is also great for children to let off steam. The only query is why the late night arrivals area has been converted into a car park? Southport is a good distance from the motorways and can take longer to get there than you think. Our Friday journey was delayed and we were the last in at 19:45. A further delay could have been a problem.
