Brilliant motorhome park up surrounded by nature

- This week we found two lovely park ups. One not far from Minehead up in the hills and a relatively easy walk to Dunkery Hill, the highest peak in Exmoor. This park up was so peaceful. We shared the car park with a few walkers during the day, but by 6pm we had the place to ourselves and with hardly any passing traffic, it really felt like the perfect spot.
The second was close to Exeter; a car park in Ashclyst Forest. Walking was plentiful, but very wet and muddy when we were there.
We also experienced a Devon campsite called Twelve Oaks which was a short drive from Newton Abbot. From there we walked alongside the Stover canal, now disused and admired the large sumptuous properties in the surrounding area.
This is episode 118 in a series of videos cataloguing our post retirement adventures. We are Kath and Sue and we are travelling the UK with our two dogs Archie and Fudge and living full time in our Burstner Elegance Motorhome. We have given up conventional living for a new van-life, enjoying the freedom of the road and plenty of time outdoors taking in the beautiful countryside the UK has to offer.
Thanks lovely ladies and of course the beautiful doggies.. It's great to see two women living your best life. You have inspired us to visit the places you have been in our campervan.
Best of luck with all of your adventures Jackie and Jo xx
Thanks for such nice words. It’s great to know that we can help other people get some ideas for places to visit. Happy travels. 🤗🙏🚌❤️
Hi, Really enjoyed this vlog, such beautiful places 😊
Thank you. We really enjoyed Exmoor. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Love watching your walks.😊
Thank you. Never sure how interesting they are for anyone else but I love them particularly when we are in hills and mountains. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Thank you once again for a very nice vlog very enjoyable keep your vlogs coming take care keep safe best wishes Sheila and family
Thank you. So nice of you to say. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Thanks for doing what you do and posting your adventures for everyone to enjoy. We are a couple who bought our first motorhome last year to enjoy the freedom retirement brings and to give our rescue 7yr old border collie Baz adventures he'd never had (he was rescued by police when his owner died and had never been taken out before 2021). We only managed to get Baz out twice in the motorhome last year and sadly we lost him when he suddenly became poorly just two weeks into 2024 💔
We were devastated at losing our fury friend but we discovered Motorhome Mums - watching your adventures from the beginning upto present day has been a very comforting and uplifting journey for us to help overcome our deep sadness (I bet you never imagined grief therapy as a benefit of watching your videos) Anyway apologies for the unloading of sadness on your channel, oh and bye the way I was born in Billinge hospital and brought up in 'Shevy' and couldn't believe when you went to Holgates, my first memories in a caravan as a kid with my parents where at holgates!
Anyway thankyou so much for your inspiration, please keep posting your exploits for us to share and keep a close eye on beautiful Archie and Fudge we are planning to dognap them!!! 🤣
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like you gave Baz a second chance and gave him his best years. We are dreading the day we lose Archie and whilst we all know it will happen, it is so devastating as you say. My heart goes out to you. I hope you still manage to have some good times in your Motorhome and cherish the happy memories with Baz. If you spot us somewhere then please do come and say hello. All the best. 🤗🙏🚌❤️
Great woodland parkups, just up our street, thanks 🤩 👍
Woodland parkups always the best. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Beautiful place those waterfalls were lovely thankyou for taking us along 😊❤
Thank you. Being in nature is so lovely. 🤗🙏🚌❤️
Thanks for your videos, really enjoy watching and listening to you…..hi from Queensland Australia 💐
Hi Linda, love Australia 🇦🇺. Thanks for watching. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Dunkery Beacon is the “Purple headed mountain “ in “all things bright and beautiful “ 🎶and the River Avil just below Dunkery is the “River running by …”🎶 Cecil Frances Alexander sat on or near Dunkery Beacon when he wrote it in the 1800s 😊lovely round there, we live not far from there Exmoor is never crowded or busy as there are no large towns near by ! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Oh wow. That is so amazing. It is a truly special place. We feel very privileged to have had that experience. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
@ianbooth369 WOW such an informed comment, that has really added to the already enjoyable video. My maiden name was Booth, we could be distant relatives 😂😂
@@gwenmassey7631 my dad was from Doncaster area, we lived in Sutton in Ashfield . I now live in Burnham on Sea ,
One of my great great grandads was a prominent Methodist minister( nothing to do with general booth) and my dad was chair of Ashfield district council for a few years in the 70s !
But we could be related somewhere down the line ! I will have to refer to you as Aunty Gwen 😂 or cousin Gwen 😂😂 glad you found anecdote helpful! I find it fascinating and one to bring out that surprises everyone ! May even get you a round of drinks 🍺😂😂😂
Lovely vibe from you both. Thanks for the great content
Thank you. Really nice of you to say. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
6 miles 😂 Wow a beautiful place it looked like it was worth the walk , Much to look forward to very soon❤
I am very excited for you. Loads of places for you to roam. Happy travels. 🤗🚌❤️
Another great video 👍🏼👌🏼
Thanks. A spot for you guys. 🤗🚌❤️
@MotorhomeMums added to the list... Chippy dawg is sending loads of licks for Archie and Fudge 🐾 xx
Lovely places and very close to my old neck of the woods 😂
I thought it might be. You must be getting close to pick up day now. 🥳
Some lovely park ups there Kath, we are looking forward to exploring that area, another great video, moving on from dell Croft Monday to new forest 👊👍🥰🚌
Thank you. New Forest is so lovely. Chancer will have loads of fun there. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
@@MotorhomeMums we tried to go to the site you were at but they were fully booked at the weekend, so we are going off grid at Ocknell forest,👊
Another lovely video. Exmoor is very special isn't it? I had a holiday in Dunster last March and just walked everywhere. Looking forward to seeing where you go next.
Thank you. So nice of you to say. We really enjoyed Exmoor. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
Love Exmoor and that park up looked divine. We haven’t been for ages but I do remember it feeling very isolated and less popular than most National Parks which was perfect. It was on Exmoor we had an argument in the van, I stormed off in the dark, realised there was nowhere to go except fall into the Bristol Channel (we were parked near the sea somewhere), so dragged my feet back and quietly put dinner on instead. Nowhere upstairs to run to when you argue in a van 😂
Anyway, beautiful place and how lovely seeing Archie and Fudge enjoy it too. Great vlog ❤
🤣🤣🤣what a great story. I definitely have the vision. Chance of a reconstruction now you’re into vlogging. That would be definitely go viral. Happy travels. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
@@MotorhomeMums 🤣 Reconstructions have happened a few times since, maybe I should pull the camera out next time! 😆
Loving your channel. Informative, relaxing and very enjoyable! Thank you so much for sharing this park up. Only an hour from us so we may do an overnight to try our new camper! Spectacular views. How does Sue find these park ups and campsites please? Safe and happy travels 😊
Thank you. Really appreciate your comments. How exciting to have a new camper to try out. We use an app called searchforsites which we find really good as it includes site and pub stops and parkups so a good one stop shop. Sue is the one with the patience to look through the reviews and also check google maps as she’s always checking whether there will be plenty runs for her too. Searchforsites is around £5 per year so well worth it for us. 🙏🤗🚌❤️
@@MotorhomeMumsThank you Kath I’ll look that up. Really looking forward to it, we collect on Saturday yay 😊. Keep your vlogs coming and enjoying your travels. Stay safe and all the best to you both 🥰
