pa_ul, I was shocked to see New Brighton too - obviously someone hasn't been there for many, MANY years!
West Kirby? yeah, if you like waking up with eleven toes!!
Blackpool? nope, see above!
Southport? humm, ok-ish although the fair ground has closed for good.
I quite like Llandudno, there's not much there but it's nice just the same.
Totally, such a great mix of hills, cliffs and rugged coast with easy access! Was the one place I remembered the most first time I drove through it. No wonder the seals love it with all the oyster farms out there!
How do you know the place? Have you been to Castletownbere and Schull, Skibberean (sp), Ahilles, or Aardbeg and Eiries etc out the west?
No, just went on fishing holiday/chillout a couple of times for a couple of weeks in the last 5 years. Fell in love with the place. I live in Cornwall, but not Cornish.
Are you Irish?
