Why don't we have Aires like the French? ( short for "aires de service" when there is limited free parking and access to water and drainage for a small fee .) ?
Is it because the French love Aires ? They love their Aires so much that even when there are lots of quiet motorhome niches available they still congregate as tightly as they can on an Aire .
Is it because we live in a country where public touristic infrastructure is grossly underfunded, and if any public money is going to be spent then Motorhomes are not a priority?
Is it because after all not so many motorhomes roam across English counties ( they are all in Portugal and France and....)?
Or is it that there are so many cute campsites in rural England ranging from the simplest to the 5 star holiday park that we don't need Aires.
Take Cornwall with 100's of campsites tucked away within a few miles of the local hotspots, offering a friendly welcome, good services, and a touch of conviviality. And you can open your door without hitting the neighbour.
The truth is at least in Cornwall we don't need Aires.
