We do like to explore a bit on our adventures so having settled nicely into life at East Fleet Farm we decided to venture out of the campsite and enjoy some of the breathtaking views from the top of the hill overlooking the campsite.
Followed by a spot of lunch down by the water...
We also spent one of our days venturing into Weymouth. It's not a short walk as it is approx 3 miles away but it was good exercise and we had a great day out by the seaside even though the weather wasn't quite as good as it was previously.
True to form, we found a nice pub to have lunch in at the marina called The Ship Inn - it is child and dog friendly and the food and atmosphere was very nice and it was fairly reasonably priced.
There is also an on-site pub at the campsite serving a very nice selection of beers, wines and ciders. They don't serve food but the added bonus of that is that they don't mind you ordering a take-away and eating it in the pub. They provide all the plates and cutlery and also do the washing up for you!
The weather didn't quite hold up as the week went on so we ordered an Indian take-away one evening which we ate in the pub. There are also on-site fish and chips, pizza and crepe vans which are open on specific days during the week (with the crepe van serving breakfast also) and although we only ate from the fish and chip van, all the food looked delicious!
On our last day we walked in the other direction into Chickerell (approximately a 20 minute walk) and stumbled across a lovely pub which was serving a mid-week carvery. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this and so we whiled away a few hours eating far too much food.
The pub was called The Turks Head Inn and it was a lovely small pub and very inviting.
So we wound up our last day of holiday flying kites in the designated field on the campsite:
We were very sad to leave as we had the most amazing week but we are due to come back in September for another VW Cali Club meet-up and can't wait to visit this amazing place again.
