Not by the sea but we take our dogs to Hartelbury Common in Stourport. Great sand / slopes and the Rose and Crown Pub adjacent :-)

Miles from the sea. Severn estuary is about the nearest, fairly sea like from the M4 down, keep going and you'll find such delights as Weston Supermud etc.

West Wales is the nearest bit of proper coast, follow the A44 until you can go no further or your feet get wet

agree miles from the sea, river severn is your best bet, it's a good walk from bewdley to bridgnorth and you can always use the steam train if you get tired

i still like the way they make luxury motor boats in kidderminster miles away from the sea.

cheers matt

Wales is to the left/west of you

Depends how far you want to drive/how long you want to be in the car.

Am in Bromsgrove-so obviously prepared to travel up to a couple of hours max!
Have done the usual walks-simmonds yat,malverns,clents etc-just fancied something a bit different-hence the beach question.
West Wales may be a bit of an option,but your thoughts would be appreciated

Traffic dependant,you could be in Somerset/North Devon in a 2-3 hours?

Was going to suggest Malvern and Clent!

Bit of a Trek really to a beach though

i live on outskirts of weston super mud now but used to live in brum so know the route to junction 4 or 5 of m5 quite well you could be down my way in hour and quarter traffic depending.

burnham and breene also not too far away,not the best coast in the world but ok for a day out as not too far to travel.

We kind of played it safe and went to Hartelbury common as suggested by Molbyman .Was well impressed as very close to home,managed to beast the dogs and found the old railway/canalside walk and a few pubs too.What with the fantastic weather,all in all a good day out.
Thanks for your suggestions,will try the rest out on my next sets of days off
