Skegness in General

As a youngster I was always taken to Scarborough for days out at the beach, but the wife is a bit of a fan of Skeggy and so in the last 5 years we've made the trek over from Sheffield on quite a few occasions. Skegness (or Skeggy or Skeg Vegas as it's affectionately known) is a seaside resort on the east coast of England. Whilst it's not as picturesque as Scarborough, there is plenty to see and do there. The wife and I will normally go to Skeggy for one day each year, always doing pretty much the same thing too. We park near the pier which is priced at £6 for all-day, which seems to be a bit of a rip-off to me but we pay it nonetheless. We'll then ...  Read the complete review

Skegness is a coastal resort in the East of England. ==== Ease of access ==== It is approximately 2 hours to get to Skegness from where I live but that is a pretty good time, there are several main "A" roads that will allow you to get there so unless you travel in absolute peak times then you should be able to get there without any major problems. If you don't know exactly where you are going then as long as you head in the right direction then you should find t he rest of the way signposted. 4 / 5 for access. ==== Parking ==== There is lots and lots of parking available in Skegness, you can choose ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago , me and a friend from uni decided to visit Skegness for a day randomly. We got a bus from Lincoln station and I think it was something like £7 for a return which I thought was quite reasonable. It took about 2 hours to get there and we went through a lot of villages on the way and to be honest I felt quite ill. Once there, it wasn't the best day and was quite cold so it wasn't the perfect day, but there was still lots to do. First of all we stopped for a bite to eat as we were starving. We went to a chippy on the main strip and got a meal. It was pretty expensive for sausage and chips, something like £4.50 which I thought was a rip off. I ...  Read the complete review

Ok here we have one of Lincolnshire's most famous holiday resorts. It lies 40 miles east of Lincoln and can be reached by road, rail or bus. Now Skegness is still very popular with visitors but I just can't see many people making a return visit nowadays. The main problem with this resort is that it's stuck in the 60, 70's. The pier was partially destroyed in a storm in the 80's and what was left caught fires a few years later. The only bit left is just full of arcade games machines. That is another problem with the resort nearly every building on the main front is either an arcade or bar. All the shops have now gone. There are some amusements on the front but most ...  Read the complete review

When you hear people talking about Skegness you'll hear mixed reviews depending on the persons age. If you speak to the younger audience amongst us you'll generally find they describe Skegness as a 'cheap and cheerful' holiday. The more older people of the community may find the whole atmosphere of Skegness overwhelming favoring a more relaxed holiday in the south. I by no means want to stereotype people this is just based on the general opinions I've heard from friends and relatives. Speaking from a younger persons point of view I think Skegness is a 'blast' especially if your going there with a few friends. Last summer me and 3 friends went in a ...  Read the complete review
