Visiting the Dorset Coast : Motorhome and Caravan Touring (2020)

[@grahamcalvert6812]

Enjoyed your video, which shows some lovely places to visit on the Jurassic Coast, but can't agree with your 'Tacky Weymouth' comments - the Harbour, a Georgian seafront, Preston Beach Promenade, Greenhill and Radipole Gardens, 2 RSPB sites, Nothe Fort and Gardens, Newtons Cove, to name but just a few Jewels of this resort. It's well worth wandering off from the main tourist beach area (although that's wonderful too)! :-)

[@HereWeTow]

I do agree those areas are lovely, thank you for watching. 😊

[@gilltate3029]

On that corner behind you on the sea front is the best ice cream ever!

[@HereWeTow]

I will remember that when we go back in June 😊👍

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Lovely area of the country. We were down in Dorset in July but avoided the coast due to the newspaper reports of crowded beaches. We always enjoy this area and have found something new every time we visit. Thanks for sharing your weekend. 😄 Trev n Sue

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Trev and Sue, yes it has been very busy in many coastal areas. We held off visiting Cornwall for similar reasons. Take care and stay safe 😊 Karina

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We saw some hotspots in Cornwall too. We didn’t go to the usual places this time but visited little lesser known places and it was lovely 😊

[@HereWeTow]

I hope we can get back there next year now it is on our doorstep 😊

[@rubberdc]

I have missed you both , so happy to watch this vid .stay safe .

[@HereWeTow]

😊Thank you, we are keeping busy and making the most of the good weather. I hope you’re staying safe, thanks for watching 😊Karina

[@russellnewton6660]

Thanks guys, Dorset is a lovely county.

[@HereWeTow]

It certainly is 😊

[@starshiptrooper833]

Just a comment, never wind the awning out all the way without supporting legs. It puts tremendous leverage on the van fixings and side panel. Just wind it out about a metre, then put legs down and move out in meters increments moving legs to catch up until fully extended.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching..😊

[@pamcullen537]

Lovely to see these places and all well worth a visit. I must say though there was more detail on the car parks than the actual places ?! Hugs 🦆💕

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching Pam 😊 Have a lovely week…

[@sambaker1221]

It looks beautiful down there. I think Fudge was taking Karina for a walk to the beach. The walk to Corfe looks lovely. Thanks for a great tour.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Sam, yes Fudge was leading the way on that one. Thanks for watching 😊

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

Amazing how few people there were. It was very busy in Plymouth! It does look lovely there and somewhere for me to try! It still doesn’t look that busy! Very cheap on the ferry I’d love to have a go on that! Good idea to keep out of crowds! It really looks lovely. Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Peter, its a lovely area and yes, some places we have visited recently in the south east have been packed. It hasnt been too bad around here but we haven’t tried Cornwall or the Plymouth area. I hope all is well with you and you are staying safe. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina

[@ianlindsay1454]

Hi to you both, we enjoyed the vlog very much. At the moment we are caravanners but we're thinking of changing to a motorhome, it looks so much easier. We love the information you gave about parking in the areas you visited, where you can and can't park and this with a small motorhome. It seems so difficult sometimes and of course a worry. Your vlog has helped us make our minds up about caravanning v motorhoming. We like the thought of having the room of a caravan and of course having the car to go wherever you like without the parking problem. The other thing that made us feel uneasy was the cost of buying a decent motorhome. We have been so uncertain for months but I think we know which suits us best. Ian and Angie.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching Ian and Angie. We are absolutely loving the Motorhome and I think the key is to stay smaller so you can use it as a vehicle to get around in. We are trying to decide whether to push up to 7 metres so get the fixed bed and larger garage or to stay at 6 metres. It really is as easy as it looks. Good luck with whatever you decide 😊Karina

[@stevetaylor6673]

Lovely video, we are booked into the corfe castle site in 10 days time on our way back from St Ives, we will be doing visiting all the places you went to, thanks for sharing your trip.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching Steve, I hope you have enjoyed Cornwall. The Corfe Castle Site is lovely, the fish and chip van was pretty good that comes to site. Enjoy exploring Dorset 😊 Karina

[@RobinH8869]

Nice video. You really seem to be enjoying the motorhome. Only comment is that it would have been nice to see more of the campsite and to hear your thoughts on the facilities. Looking forward to the next one.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Robin, we were hoping to do a site tour but it was full and the toilet facilities and reception were closed. Hopefully we can return for a site review once things settle down. It is a lovely site though 😊 Karina

[@lensmanonline]

Ah Swanage our favourite place, the first pier you saw, is called Banjo pier, both chippies are good on that corner, depends on whether you want to eat in or out. The site looks really nice very narrow access. Love Corfe great national trust tea rooms there and a couple of nice pubs, we missed our yearly holiday to Dorset, this brought back some happy memories thanks for sharing. Been to the seven star pub really good pub grub Stay safe best wishes stay safe Jon and Karen

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Jon and Karen, I hope you can get back next year, it is a lovely place. 😊

[@jomoore2161]

When next in Dorset, come to sherborne, we have 2 castles & an Abbey.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Jo, I think I know where that is. I will add it to my list of places to explore. Thank you for watching, Karina 😊

[@TM-ht6id]

What a wandaful holiday kateeja and fudge. 😁👍🏻🐕

[@rogerjones624]

If you get the chance go to the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills, a great old pub and views of Weymouth harbour from the car park. Dorset is one of my favorite places we store our caravan down there.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Roger, Ive not heard of that one so will add it to my list. We still have a credit note for East Fleet so maybe we could try it then. Thanks for watching 😊Karina

[@jimjohnson1732]

Good to see your Video as we had 16 days away this August and was staying in Bosham, West Sussex and we explored the South Coast between Swanage to Brighton. I loved Corfe Castle and the ferry across to sandbanks was good to see as it brought back a super day out and fantastic memories. Im still a caravanner as I do like my car for exploring but have thrown the question around caravan or motorhome. In four years we won't be restricted to school holidays so maybe then we could consider a motorhome or campervan as parking before or after school hols won't be as difficult. Thanks Jim.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching Jim, its a lovely area and I am glad it reminded you of your trip. We have found this compact Motorhome absolutely brilliant for touring and easy trips away. Enjoy your next caravan holiday 😊 Karina

[@HitchUpAndTow]

An enjoyable watch, never been to Dorset, think we need to add it to our list, if only for the fish n chips.🙂 Mark

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Mark and Coral, it is certainly worth visiting the area on holiday. There’s lots to see and yes, nice fish and chips 😊 I hope you’re both well, I have been watching Coral’s vlogs 😊 Karina

[@kevandrews6418]

Nice one guys that's one good thing about having a motor home u can just get up and go unplanned and look up sites when u there u will always find some where stay safe friends .kev

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching Kev 😊 We are getting on well with the Motorhome and have been all over. I think its short length makes it very useable. I hope you are well and staying safe 😊 Karina

[@johnprewer3057]

I stayed at corfe 2 yrs ago good site

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks John, I enjoyed it too, Karina 😊

[@markcannon5788]

Just watching your latest, and it always impresses me how much work you put into all the details of where you are staying, like parking places and general places to visit. Really good job and it has even converted my other half to KZbin.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate your comment. Filming is time consuming so thank you 😊 Karina

[@clairehayward1078]

We've just seen this. We live in Wareham so it was lovely to see. Unfortunately I don't agree about the 7 stars pub, the food we had last year wasn't good. I would not recommend it. I've do agree about weymouth though. There are lots are other beautiful places to go and eat, If you're ever down here again. There's now Harlees chip shop which is owned by a local family. The Grand Hotel and Pines are very nice places to eat, the views are amazing.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching.. that’s a shame about 7 Stars.. it was fantastic. Swanage is one of my favourite places. Hopefully we will get back down there again, it is a bit further to travel now we have moved back to North Yorkshire. Enjoy you winter in Wareham 😊

[@louisewild4149]

I once stayed at Hunters Moon and nearly pooped myself when all these bangs started in the night. It was Bovington Tank Museum! I love Dorset, lots of good caravan sites around there. Nice to see you enjoying the Motorhome 👍

[@HereWeTow]

We remember the tanks from when we were at Wareham Forest. They would go off at around midnight, the novelty soon wore off! Thanks for watching 😊 Karina

[@Motorhoming_Fun]

Thanks for sharing excellent vlog 👍

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you 😊

[@ablemike11]

Nice video. Great to hear Mr. Here we tow get a chance to speak 😀👍. Looks like you are both enjoying the motorhome.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Mike...😂 He has also been able to drive as he can drive this on his licence 😊 Thanks for watching, Karina

[@lyndaleedam610]

Last night we found some blank 'here we bingo' sheets, it feels like ages ago since the Friday night lives 😊 great video you both look ace. Take care x

[@HereWeTow]

Oh I miss the Friday night bingo, it was such a laugh. Im sure we can resurrect it at some point, especially as we had in to winter. Take care and thanks for watching 😊🐾

[@lyndaleedam610]

@@HereWeTow we used to have a great laugh everyone was always in good spirits xx

[@Alanicus1]

Stayed on that site with a caravan three years ago. The location was, I thought, very nice and the walk into Corfe lovely. We thought the site itself wasn’t so good though, being very cramped and quite noisy. Our pitch was barely large enough to accommodate our caravan with a smallish awning and we had to park the car on the other side of the hedge, Maybe we were unlucky but it might be worth investigating other sites in the area.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Mark, we said our pitch would have been small if we still had our 8ft wide caravan and 3 metre wide awning. We have stayed at Hunters Moon before and Wareham Forest. Its such a lovely area. Thank you for watching 😊 Karina

[@CraftyCampervanners]

You've showed off a bit of Dorset nicely - we're back from a long weekend down there, miss it already, your video helped the withdrawal process. Pete & Kaz

[@HereWeTow]

It is a lovely area, we are lucky to have it so close to us. Safe towing and thanks for watching 😊 Karina

[@jomoore2161]

Crafty Caravanners , where in Dorset were you?

@@jomoore2161 yes, it’s quite close 😀

[@williamchanning9055]

I enjoy the corfe site, funnily have never ventured to Swanage but will have to do so on my next visit. The bakery in corfe is also pretty tasty and The Fox pub is a good one to pop in, it's right in the centre of the village.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching William, I would say Swanage was probably my favourite part of our long weekend. It had a lovely feel about it. Thanks for the pub recommendation, we will definitely stay down there again. Safe travels, Karina

[@Brooksontour]

Love Swanage, an “old fashioned” seaside. Corfe Castle is great, an interesting way to pass a few hours. Pleased you are finding the motorhome enjoyable 👍

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Ann, we had a lovely time 😊

[@mahrukhkhan2641]

Wow 👌

[@HereWeTow]

😊

[@mikebirkett010]

How to incur the wroth of the locals "Sandbanks is the west of Bournemouth"..😅😅😅😅😅😅 im sure the people of Poole would have something to say about that!

[@markpullinger7324]

Hi guys really nice video 👍 I go to dorset most weekends lots of places to visit Dorset coast is great but I would of said stop in Wareham & walked round Saxon walls with fudge Plenty of parking Take care 😉

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Mark, I am glad you love Dorset too. Ive not heard of the Saxon Walls so will check it out. I like Wareham, we use to eat at a few places around there. Thanks for watching 😊🐾 Karina

[@nigeltomes3964]

Loving Fudge.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Nigel 🐾

[@valpatch7249]

New Zealand here, Corfe Castle plays a huge part in my ancestry and my family was quite prominent from 1600, basically born there or in Wareham. We made a trip there 5 years ago. Disappointed you haven’t put up a photo of the castle. Loved Weymouth and I don’t think it’s typically British seaside.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching Val and i am glad it links back to some family history. The castle could be seen when we were walking to Corfe but yes, only from a distance. Its a beautiful ruin, and quite impressive. Enjoy New Zealand and stay safe 😊 Karina

[@vdub8567]

Nice videos guys ..really nice places in the uk ,you should do a trip to ireland and do the wild Atlantic way you would really enjoy it !!!👍

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching, a few people have mentioned Ireland..maybe one for 2021 once things settle down a bit. Neither of us have been to Ireland before. Safe travels, Karina 😊

[@caravaningincarathevan467]

We love swanage but we've never camped always had a holiday home 🏡 but im tempted too take cara for a long weekend now

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching, there are some fantastic sites all around the area, it’s certainly worth taking the caravan. We have stayed at Hunters Moon and Wareham Forest in our caravan. The Corfe Castle site was very peaceful. 😊 Karina

[@shottostravels]

Great to see you both, I thought you were joking when you said you’re going to write a fish and chip guide! it’s nice that you take Fudge everywhere with you, I love Fudge, and the German Shepherds great too!

[@HereWeTow]

I would never joke about fish and chips..the guide will mean a lot of testing so I am taking it very seriously as you can imagine. Fudge is a very good dog, he loves going away, thank you for watching 😊 Karina

[@sharonfoster37]

Dogs are welcome to use 'Monkey Beach' which is located by the old stone quay, close to the pier.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Sharon, I missed the Monkey Beach bit..😊 Karina 🐾

[@StellarFella]

I would love to spoil Fudge and give him a long brushing.

[@HereWeTow]

He would certainly enjoy that 🐶

[@patgillmore8460]

I normally like your videos but I have to say I was disappointed with this one. I love the places you visited but we didn't get to see a lot as the video was mostly Karina standing still talking to camera. It would have been good if you were walking at the same time as talking so we could see more of the places you visited.

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks Pat, I take your feedback on board, Karina 😊

[@Tom-852]

First! I look forward to watching

[@HereWeTow]

😂Maybe I could offer a prize next time for first comment. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊Karina

[@tanksontour]

Wow! Just wow! We live in ‘tacky Weymouth’ and tacky it ain’t! If your talking about the shops, there are (still) some nice ones here, some lovely hotels, camp sites, restaurants etc. A lovely harbour side and Portland hangs out the end of it too! We hosted the tacky sailing for the 2012 olympics too, soooo tacky 😉. Cheap? Not really but in comparison to Sandbanks, yes, can’t argue with that! Glad you enjoyed your trip away though.

[@HereWeTow]

😂 No offence intended, I love Weymouth.

[@tanksontour]

Here we Tow Weymouth is a lovely seaside town with some lovely places to go, as we do in the summer.......away from Weymouth! It gets so busy so can’t be that tacky. We (I) prefer it in the out of season times, when it’s quieter, we use ‘local’ sites too, Hunters Moon, Wareham Forest Touring park, Merley Park and Lychett Manor just to get away!
