I really wasn't going to guess again - but as I have half a point -  I can't even remember what for ??? Hull ??

You got half a point for guessing Aberdeen - wildly wrong, but close to the location of the alternative castle holiday 😂

Delurking to suggest Portsmouth or Southampton? 

OK, prize goes to @Skint_yet_Again - our mystery location is in fact Portsmouth - so unlikely as a seaside destination that it took about 5 pages to get there 😂😂

Do pop out of lurkdom to take a congratulatory bow! 😂😂

Kind of wish I hadn't told you now, the guessing was too much fun! 😂😂

Portsmouth is a good holiday destination.  I used to go to Southsea every summer holidays for 6 weeks as I had an aunt and uncle to who lived there.  There's lots to see and do in Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.  Are you planning a day trip to the Isle of Wight?  That makes a good day out.

I agree with joedenise - a holiday destination is anywhere you make it Cheery 😁 Have a lovely relaxing time, doing whatever you & MrC choose 😁

ooo - fun - I love Portsmouth! The historic Dockyards are fantastic. You are in my part of the world, but my hols are not until the last week of August so an impromptu meet up is out of the question!  Maybe a good thing as everytime we have gone there, the heavens have exploded & we've been drenched.

Hope MrCheery is feeling better and can enjoy his birthday trip!

Agree on the dockyards - I used to take my nephew there to poke round all the different ships and find out what it would have been like to be a cabin boy for Nelson. Apparently they washed in wee 😂

Fabulous place for a holiday Cheery! Although it has a pebble beach it also has a castle 😉 🤣

I spent lots of my childhood in Portsmouth - my nan lived there.  (I now don’t live far from you - not been back since I was little)
