Camping by the Seaside, Cliff House, Dunwich, Suffolk - 15th August 2012

The Van, along with Nosher, Isobel and The Boys, heads off for a few days at Cliff House campsite, right on the clifftop at Dunwich. It's a great site with lots of facilities and has steps right down on to the beach, plus it's only about a mile away from Dunwich itself (by beach or woodland walk). We're also right by a playground, which gives Fred lots of stuff to do.
