Best Places To Stop For A Picnic In The UK – Seriously
Thursday, 1. July 2010
For years we’ve been very strange in this country, we like to stop our cars by the side of the road, get out a flask of tea, pack of sandwiches and Kit Kats and have a little picnic. Some will even have a gas burner and have a bit of a fry up! All of this whilst CO2 emitting trucks and cars zoom by! As creators of the picnic area in the UK the RAC has slammed UK facilities for running behind those provided in Europe. New motorway services are to have free picnic areas and a survey carried out by the Highways Agency found that of the 72 motorway service stations in the UK, 50 had free picnic areas. But the RAC complained that there aren’t enough picnic areas and the quality was far too poor. They also called for better play areas for children and better facilities. If you feel strongly about this issue you can ‘sign’ the petition created by the RAC by visiting: www.picnicwithrac.com The top picnic sites in the UK according to the RAC are:
