Went to Warwick Castle once when they had a jousting tournament,  it was superb. Get some footy in batch!

Chubbs, what about the new forest for a stop over, you're then not far from places like Lymington etc.

It's not the travel time that's really the issue it's the distance as my car has a range of about 225 miles.

 Cheesy. To be honest my ST was good on a longer run. Well, I could get 29mpg instead of the usual 22.5.

Don't ask me. I'm going to Coventry on holiday next week.

Coventry was the home of The Eclipse which was one of the best rave clubs in the country, if not the best. For that I will be eternally grateful.

As for days away, Swanage with a trip to Monkey world included is a good day trip.

I like Swanage, but I can never do it in anything under 2 hours, usually a bit more, and Chubbs specified 1-2 hours driving time. Swanage has also got the railway to Corfe Castle  Smiley

Went down that way with the missus after Bournemouth away the season before last. Corfe castle was good, and there's a gem of a pub called the square and compass with cracking views up the road in worth matravers

If you venture to the new forest, Bucklers  Hard is worth a visit.
