Eden is very close to a very popular holiday area.

It used to be popular with me too - but I now find it overcrowded,
overpriced and over-touristified (?) to the point of tackiness. The
Beacons,
Pembrokeshire and the Gower have the climate, the scenery and the
beaches -
but not the Grockles and the Tat.

(Ducks swiftly and waits for the incoming flak....)

No flack from me, I live in the Brecon Beacon National Park and I agree with
you. One small point, Middleton is in west Wales, not south.

I found three ways to access the DB :

1) Click on England, Scotland or Wales just under the picture if
Britain (right hand side of screen)

2) Click on Map Search (right side)
Click on the part of the country and so on.........

3) Click on a County (left side of screen)
Then fill in the extended search and the county

Do you want the reference?

It's the current edition

I suspect somebody was a victim of a spell checker.

but it already knows the county and I want to know what ia available
in the county.

"Click on an area to list *all* its BBGL entries."

Is one supposed to work through each county, town by town?

Entering Yorkshire followed by York finds a lot of places that are not
York, including Stonebeck Gate Farm near Whitby, which claims to have
free range children and dogs!


I clicked both Yorkshire and Berkshire and got a response of

"Sorry, there were no places in our database matching your search
criteria. Please try again."

Going via the map one ends up with same result - nothing.

Geographically, you are correct. Goodness knows why it is called west Wales
when there are places further west (and up a bit) that are mid Wales.

By the way, interesting web site. I may look in on you when we are a little
nearer spring.

I have never really looked for a place to stay as the family is
handily scattered in more or less the right places :~)

I knew most of the places already, except the place with the free
range children and dogs. We rent a cottage fairly near to it, when we
visit UK.

Here is a better list of places to stay.

Probably for the same reason as West Yorkshire is East of where I live in
North Yorkshire
