The soft creak of boats on their moorings and the call of gulls overhead — this is waking up at Swans Harbour, where the waterside sets the rhythm of the day.

This is a spot for caravanners and campervan tourers who like their pitches with a nautical edge, whether you're exploring the coast with a dog in tow (best to check they're welcome when you book) or simply after a few nights moored up somewhere different. The harbour setting gives it a character you won't find inland, and it suits those happy to roll with a bit of maritime weather and the quiet company of boat owners pottering about.

Facilities aren't widely advertised, so it's worth asking what's available when you arrive — this feels more like a working harbour that welcomes tourers than a full-service site. Campfires are a maybe, so check on the day depending on conditions and space. The vibe is low-key and self-sufficient, the kind of place where you bring what you need and enjoy the waterside for what it is.

The full route takes several days, but individual sections work brilliantly for families and buggies, particularly the disused railway stretches. Dogs welcome throughout.
