Much as I love Cornwall and have had some great camping trips there, France would always get my vote (assuming money isn't a key issue here). In general, you have more chance of good weather and I much prefer French campsites and the freedom of not having to book everything months in advance.

Do you have a particular region in mind? If the weather is what's putting you off Cornwall it might be best not to chance Brittany (which can often be very similar to Cornwall)and to head at least as far as the Loire, if not a little further.

Other crossing options to consider could be the Poole- Cherbourg fast ferry , Portsmouth-Caen or Plymouth Roscoff with Brittany Ferries , the Poole St Malo crossing with Condor Ferries or Portsmouth- le Havre with  LD lines

Thanks Warbis!!!

I've been back to sleep after those posts!!!!  I couldn't sleep earlier, and OH was snoring, so I got up and made a cuppa, then replied to Lilyjoy and a few posts, and then went back to bed to sleep soundly until 7.30!   I was in bed early too, after all the picking, carrying, chopping and stoning!!!!   He, of course, is still asleep - and at least we've no work to go to these days - though we have loads to do today!
