- A TOP PUB STOP LOCATION! Solo Female Van Life UK - VW Campervan, Glasson Dock.
After a great trip to Robin Hood's Bay, East Yorkshire (see the last videos) and while planning for my next trip, I decided to get out for a cheeky overnight pub stop and was glad I did. I would recommend!

Hi, I’m Sue from Lancashire, UK.
This channel is just me getting out and about in a converted VW Campervan, occasionally with friends but mostly solo. Fun, laughs, moans, groans, mistakes, and successes. It’ll all be in here!
I’ll share new places, hints, tips, any info I discover and whatever else I think you might find useful.
I began vlogging my solo travels in ‘Vanya’, to help me re-engage with life following the sudden, tragic loss of my husband nearly 3 years ago now. Working through a very complex grief has been the hardest & loneliest challenge imaginable. Some days it still knocks me completely sideways and probably always will. I really don't know. All I do know is that life can change forever and irreversibly in an instant.
By returning to the vanlife we had enjoyed so much together & embracing a new found love of video creation and vlogging, I’m continuing to build strength and balance to move forward through this completely unforeseen and unwanted next chapter of life.
Thanks for joining me. The company is nice.
Sue x

Just love your work 👍🍺chilled and great editing and mix of camera and drone - great youtube skills.
So relaxing to watch in times of stress - inspiring for someone who is saving for a VW camper and planning early retirement adventures!
Just thanks 🍺👍
It was lovely to read your comment Graham. Thanks for leaving it! I hope your plans for early retirement come through soon for you so you can get out there and live it. ATB, Sue 🍻 😊
Brian would be so proud to see you doing this. What am I saying? He IS proud of you.
Thanks for that Andy because all I do and everywhere I go he’ll always be in my head and in my heart ❤️
What a lovely pub stop! A great cycle ride and oh my! That smokehouse looked amazing 😻 Very relaxing vlog. Thanks Sue x
Thank you 😊. Sure you’d enjoy it there yourselves 👍🏻 x
Been slowly catching up after spending a month in a tiny tent debs xx
Lol Hi Debs don’t worry, my viewing has fallen back too. Hope all is good. Take care, Sue xx
You always produce such lovely natural videos Sue, with such a wonderful and honest sense of humour. Get us to that smoke house!!! 😍
Thank you! You must visit that smokehouse. Take a big shopping bag with you! 😊👍🏻
That looked like a perfect campervan trip away. Thanks for sharing.
A great little pub stop for sure 😊👍🏻
aye up" again sue I'm going through your travels thick and fast loving the adventures your so down to earth I'm cheered up no end you have a gentle way about you sue God bless you love.pete
Aye up Peter 🖐 thanks very much for watching the videos and for leaving such a positive comment. I must say I'm also cheered up no end after reading that. All the best to you 😊😊
That looked a great Pub stop over in a nice area. Supper looked delicious 👍Graeme
Hi Graeme. That meal was another delicious belly stretcher hehe 🐷
Looked another great stop over and cycle Sue.
Such a beautiful area
And you showed it off to perfection as always!!
Have a great week ahead 👍👍👍
Oh thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed my visit. A little gem of a location. Have a great week too. Take care 😊👍🏻
Thanks for taking us. Love going away this time of year nice and peaceful. I can sit nice and cosy in my van and people watch. 😊
It’s great isn’t it. Thanks for coming along I appreciate it 😊👍🏻
Glad to hear you felt ok sitting by yourself - that is such a huge thing
Hi Christina, it is definitely getting easier as my general confidence is growing again and I'm finding out who I am now as a solo woman getting out there in my van. As long as I'm not plonked in the middle of the room amongst everybody I can manage it ok 😊
I'm proud of you I lost my wife and I'm trying to do the same has your giving me inspiration I can do it but it's hard isn't it .
Sorry for your own loss Stephen. Yes it’s hard, so so hard, the hardest thing we’ll ever have to face in life. I really wish you well in your own solo travels too. It does get easier as we adapt.
It was nice to see the glass of Thwaites (I'm from Blackburn) it reminded me of a saying my brother said, 'Thwaites for mates, Duttons for gluttons, and if tha can drink Lion's, tha can tame 'em'
Oh I love that saying. I’m from Clitheroe but have never heard it before 😊👍🏻
Glorious weather for you on this trip! A lovely area for a cycle ride. I was salivating in that smokehouse 😍 Geez! You did well clearing that plate in the pub 😜 Many, many, congratulations on your very well deserved 3K ❤️ Onwards! 🚐
Ah thank you both ❤️. The camera angle is deceiving, it was actually only a side plate I was eating from 😜 x 🙌🏻
Did look busy when you pulled up, glad it emptied at the night time. Been years since ive been to Glasson Dock, love that area! Showing off those lovely tarmaced tracks! What a great 12 mile stretch! What a lovely Deli! Half a pint for Brian! Wow, the food looks incredible! Lovely area, thanks for taking us back there 👍
It was a great little pub stop, just lacking in a choice of real ales!
Lovely bike ride/walking route. I love Glasson Dock but it’s the first time I’ve stayed it the van. Doubt it’ll be the last 😊👍🏻
Cheeky one nighters are always fun. Glasson Dock looks a good one night stand😀 Potted shrimps yum yum. xx
It’s a little hidden gem to be sure 😊👍🏻 xx
That looks like a very interesting place to go to and let's be honest, not far from us too. Thanks for taking us along with you again. 🙂🐕🚙
Hi its certainly a place worth visiting 😊👍🏻
It's cool to know people like you are out there somewhere
There seem to be more and more of us venturing out solo now. I love every second I’m out in the van ❤️
Another great one-nighter Sue. Lovely photography …… making the most of the autumn weather xx
Thanks Mo. Looking forward to the next trip now 😉 xx
Hi Sue Glasson Dock looked so good and I think you said it opened in 1787 wow. The Bikers cafe looked nice where you had your coffee , so many bikes ! Loved your pub park up for the night and at least there was only one other van :) Loved your bike trip , we love cycling so much . That millennium bridge was lovely . You got a nice stash of food from the farmshop smokery place too. The pub meal looked delicious and I loved the church , it seemed so peaceful near the harbour . Great place , thanks for the lovely tour and until next time onward! 😃 ~ Anna
Hi Anna. It really was a gem of a location. I’d wanted to visit for a while and it didn’t disappoint ❤️
Looks a lovely place to visit, the Smokehouse looked great lots of tempting things in there by the look of it! Looks a nice pub and meal too. Lovely footage as always ❤
All the best, David & Rachel 👍
Hi both, thanks for watching and commenting. I’m sure it’s a place you would enjoy 😊👍🏻
Loving the matched dubbed out sticker
I love that sticker! 🤙
Finally catching up with you!
Wish I was brave enough to ride a bike. Only rode mine 2wice in the last 2 years! Chickened out!!!!!
🤣 The Millennium Bridge flicking the V's!
Hope you are well.
Ju
Xx
Haha thanks for watching Ju. Take care xx
You like finding these precarious cycling tracks don’t you 😃looks a loverly place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do my best haha. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊👍🏻
What a lovely place for a stopover Sue. I haven't ventured to this part of the UK before, it looks very quiet and peaceful, and you seemed to have enjoyed yourself Sue. I'm not a big fan of crowds and tourists but this looks ideal for a overnight trip so I have now added Glasson Dock to my list of places to stay. Thanks Sue 👍
I’m the same Paul, I prefer places quieter. I think out of season this could be great for you. It gets busy in summer time. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
That pub looked busy when you arrived. Pleased it quietened down for you. Nice cycle route, if a bit puddly. (A lot flatter than the last one! ) I’d love to cycle along there. Pub looked nice. Some great places to walk there too. Safe travels Sue x
You can’t beat an off road, flat cycle path can you! It’s a great little area to visit. Can recommend. Take care x
Been to Glasson hundreds of times but never seen an aerial view , thankyou .
I bet it looks beautiful in a crisp winter frost. May have to revisit! 😊👍🏻
You get the use out of that electric bike - not a fad so a great purchase for you by the looks.
Good to see real experience on pub recommend actions lol 😂
Well done for getting out there ….
Great watch
The bike has definitely been a great addition to my van travels and at that price Im determined to get my use out of it haha. Seriously though I love being out on the bike, always have done. I think a few more pub stop reviews might be in order over the next few colder, darker months 😃👍🏻. Thanks for watching. Take care both 😊
@@CamperVanya good thinking on pub stop over videos
Hi Sue! Nice stopover👍 I like pub stopovers when it's getting towards winter and a lot of the sites start to close. Looked like plenty to explore in the area too👍
Hi Des, I think it's going to be the same for me going forward, a nice warm fire and good meal. I can definitely recommend that area, good walking to be had too 😊👍
Just recently started watching your channel. You ticked all the boxes with this video…narrowboats, sailboats, and water. I will be renting a VW camper van for a week to visit Scotland. Your driving scenes have been acting as a refresher to UK driving. A bit different from the US. Thank you for putting these videos out there. A fellow solo lady traveler.
Hi Diane thanks for leaving your comment. It’s always great to hear from fellow solo female camper vanners. Enjoy Scotland. I’ve done a couple of playlists of East Scotland and Isle of Arran if they’re of interest before you go. If I can help with anything as you get going with it all just drop me an email (address in the ‘about’ section). Good luck and enjoy 😊🚐👍🏻
That is my kind of cycle path, thanks for sharing.
Mine too - flat and easy lol 👍🏻😊
You're spoiling me showing me these parts of England that I never got to see when I lived there - some glorious sights. I love the "pint for Bri" as it reminds me of all the things I do to remember Patrick and the others I love but have lost. ❤❤❤
All these places can go on your list for next time 😊. The “cheers to Bri” is a tradition I started back when I had my first drink in a pub since losing him. It was in the Ribblehead video. It’s a forever thing now to always have a half of whatever he would have had before I order my own drink when I’m out in the van and having a drink. Funny what we start to do isn’t it, but these things just feel so natural now. Take good care 😊❤️
@@CamperVanya I saw that video a few months back when I 'found' you! 😀 I re-watched it over the weekend when I had a friend from Norway come to visit - I was telling her that many years ago myself and my then partner Desmond walked from Dolgellau to Barmouth along the abandoned railway track (now a beautiful walking and cycling route) and then the year after I moved to Belfast to be with Patrick I returned to England and walked the route again but from Barmouth this time. It rained a lot and I was alone so I talked away to Desmond (sadly he died in my arms in 2006) and sang songs and would have looked insane to any witnesses! When I got back to Dolgellau I went to the old train station at Penmaenpool and ordered a pint of what I knew was Desmond's favourite tipple. I sat there watching the birds on the estuary and gave thanks to the twist of fate that brought Desmond into my life many years before. It is tragic that we lose the people that we love but you celebrate Brian in a public way that is wonderful in it's simplicity and I thank you for that. ❤ A link to the walk/cycle in case you're ever over that way: www.mudandroutes.com/routes/barmouth-to-penmaenpool-walk/
@@ColinOBear Hiya, I'm so sorry I have only just received notification of this comment. RUclips can be odd like that. Thanks for your lovely words and I'm sorry for the pain you've suffered in the past. I know we've spoken at length which benefits us both on our separate journeys. Thank goodness for the wonderful memories we make while we have these special people in our lives. I have to admit I'm surprised myself at how I'm celebrating Bri so publicly and in my own way processing my grief through the vlogs. It's been hugely therapeutic at the same time as hopefully being interesting content for others. I don't know what I'd have done if I hadn't started vlogging!? Hope you're keeping well on your travels. Take good care, Sue ❤
@@CamperVanya I am glad you got to read my message in the end 🙂 I hope you are well. Chat soon 🙂💕
Another lovely one, particularly liked the drone shots of the marshes 😊
Thanks Carol I’m trying to improve my drone flying and this was a lovely area to fly it 😊
What a gem Glasson Dock is. I’ve been many years ago. Definitely need to go again sometime x
It really is a gem of a location. Thanks for watching Anne xx
Glasson dock I was brought up there, glad you enjoyed it.
I did. Quite a hidden gem really. Lucky you growing up there!
@@CamperVanya a beautiful place to grow up with freedom to explore.
Now that was a mixed Gorilla. Looks like a lovely place to visit.
A really lovely area. The steak and chips and onion rings was very naughty but equally nice. 😂😋
Lovely place to stay ,liked the track you cycled looks very manageable. Great name the locals have for the bridge. 😄
It’s well worth a visit. A little hidden gem.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Loved this video. Never been to Glasson Dock even though I have lived here many years. On another note, if you come to Southport stop in Churchtown at the fishmongers, “Peets Plaice”. Kevin the owner sells Southport shrimps. Much nicer than the other stuff from further up the coast.
Ooh I love seafood and am always open to trying new things so will definitely make a note of that one. Thanks 👍🏻
Hello sue lovely video once again I do enjoy them. Your Brian is watching over you and saying to himself that’s my girl be proud of you wish I had confidence to do things enjoy yourself doing what you do and be happy and please keep making videos xx
Thanks very much Sharon, I can sometimes hear Bri in my head saying that since getting out in the van in a way I’d never have seen myself doing before. Im enjoying the van & vlogging so much. Take care xx
Hi Sue, that was very lovely to watch, took me back to some of my own trips on a bicycle 😊 getting lost is something I would probably do, so pleased it led back out to where you needed to be though. Great choice of music in this video 😊😊❤️
Thanks Stephen. The ‘detour’ I took was just a bit of added fun lol. I’m glad you liked the video and music. Take care 😊❤️🚐
Hi Sue hope you are well. Nice to see you out on your bike again. Enjoyed your video and looked like a good place to stay. I enjoy a pint of Worthington creamflow now and again. Take care Jane x
Hi Jane how are things going for you? It was a lovely little escape. I used to enjoy a Wainwrights and Bri & I once had an enjoyable afternoon sesh on Coniston Brewery’s Bluebird bitter 😊🍻😊 x
Hi Sue. Lovely video. Looked like a good pub stopover in a nice area we haven't been to. We should do more pub stopovers ourselves, especially during winter when outdoor living is a bit of a challenge! Thanks for sharing x
Hi hope you're well. Pub stopovers are great in the darker, colder months. A nice warm fire and hot food in the belly! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Brilliant video me and are lass love it please keep it up Brian would be so proud of you ❤ cheers to you both x
Thanks so much for that. Really appreciate it, and whenever I see Bri’s name mentioned it really makes me smile 😊👍🏻x
@@CamperVanya ❤
Nice 👍 looks a great area to explore..good weather too
Yea the weather really makes a difference doesn’t it. I’ve visited Glasson in the winter before too, when it was frosty. Really pretty then too 👍🏻
Lovely video as always. Another place added to my “must visit” list.
Thanks Clair I’m sure you’d enjoy it 👍🏻
Excellent video wow what a nice smokehouse on my to visit list
It’s a gem of a location. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Steve 👍🏻
Lived here in Lancashire for over forty years somewhere I never thought to visit like the look of the smoke house especially being a Foodie nice one will have to warm up the old Fiat one day soon Thanks
Yes, fire up the Fiat it’s definitely worth the journey! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Great video Sue. Havent tried a pub stop yet but looks good 😊
Oh you must. I think theyre especially great this time of year 😊👍🏻
Nice video Sue, the pub stop looks great and already looked at the menu, we have not really done much on that coastline.
Hi hope you’re both well. It’s a beautiful part of the coastline and Glasson I think is often overlooked.
looks a lovely area to explore👍
Hi both, it’s a lovely little place to visit. First time in the van but probably not the last 😊
Lovely vlog Sue. Years since we went to Glasson Dock and the car park was just as wet then.
Your piggy noises after you had polished of your meal made me laugh, it looked delish.
Will pass on the offer of a chin - have a couple spare myself. 😉.
Love potted shrimps, reminds me of a visit to Parkgate on the Wirral 10-15 years ago when there was a shop where the owner’s elderly mother sat shelling the shrimps ready for sale. Have never seen fingers move that fast. 😂
Oh bless that shrimp lady! You don’t see that anymore. Glasson Dock is a great little place to visit. My first time there in the van.
Ps. No takers on the chins so far ☹️
Great video ,that smokehouse shop looked dangerous lots of nice products.😍
It was dangerous Maggie, I only went in for potted shrimps! 😂
@@CamperVanya 😄
Hi Sue. Loved your video, must try staying there myself sometime.
Cheers Paul, I definitely recommend it 😊👍🏻
Nice one nighter Sue! You continue to inspire me!
Thank you I hope you’re well ❤️
Yes nice very nice. That’s it, I am sold definitely going to make a visit to that Smoke House. Dalton Arms eh. Love the potted shrimps. Went years ago and there was nothing there then . I was shocked how much it has changed . Tyvm Sue - great that !
Your vlogging has gone on another level so professional
Love it ❤️🙌🙌
Wow thanks Lisa. I hope it gets better all the time 🙏🏻❤️ x
Great video 🙂👍
Thank you! 👍🏻
Great place, loved the bike ride. If would be a good route for my Loui with it being flat. X
Loui would love it. Even just wandering along by the marina 😊👍🏻 x
Another great Vlog of somewhere we should visit in Lancashire. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming 🙂👍
Thank you both I’m glad I could show you somewhere new and interesting. Definitely one for your next Lancashire itinerary 😊 x
Hi, another great video and very relaxing to watch. Very pleased you're doing these vlogs, we find them interesting and give us ideas for visits and stopovers, thanks again Sue.
I’m glad you find them interesting and helpful for ideas. I enjoy doing the videos it’s a great focus and incentive to get out there 😊👍🏻
Lovely vlog and short tour! Seems that bike ride was really enjoyable! Nice to see some wonderful drone footage too. Yes you are recording ;-). Cheers
Haha thanks Meraz. It’s amazing what you can fit into a one day/nighter escape. I’m looking forward to catching up with your latest videos soon. Take care 😊👍🏻
Lovin it, Lovin it, Lovin it 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊👍🏻
Great to see the area looks like a nice place to spend a couple of days 😀
Lovely little place. Don’t forget to visit the smokehouse shop too if you go! 😋
“Scuzzy” 😂 what a great word! 👍 vid again
Haha, it certainly sounds like it’s meaning 🤣
Looks like a beautiful place to
Stop and explore. ❤
It really is. Before I got the van, years ago it was a place I liked to drive out to sometimes ❤️
Lol, I always go through the puddles, but that's just me... looks like a great place to visit, maybe one day ha ha.. great dinner too.. wow.. take care Sue xx
A great place to visit. If you two ever get there don’t forget to give me a shout! Take care xx
@@CamperVanya that a promise easily made xx
Another great vid. So many great places on our doorstep. ❤
Thanks Jenny. It’s true and we notice so much more when we have a van 🚐👍🏻 x
Hi Sue, found your channel through Keith and Daryl's channel, Campervan Tales. I enjoyed your video very much. I subscribed within a minute into this video. I wish you great joy and success in your adventures in life and in Vanya! Cheers!
Hi Micky thanks so much for subscribing and your lovely supportive comment. I love Daryl & Keith’s channel they were one of the first I subscribed to. Best wishes, Sue 😊
@@CamperVanya I’m looking forward to watching more of your content. I enjoy your self-deprecating wit! I’m over across the pond in America. I was fortunate enough to have visited your country back in 1997. And I loved every bit of your country. So, finding Daryl and Keith’s channel and now yours is such a treat. I’ve watched others from the UK, but Campervan Tales has captured my viewing heart. Now yours as well. All my best to you! Cheers!!
@@mickylawless1941 I think the self-depracating wit might by the Lancashire Lass in me! Hope you get to re-visit the country some time. I haven't been across the pond yet but there are many places there I hope to visit at some point. I hope you continue to enjoy the content of this channel, its been a steep learning curve! Thanks again & best wishes 😊👍
Absolutely loved this vlog thank you sue x 👍
Oh that’s great to hear, thanks very much! 😊👍🏻 x
Great vid nice stopover there too great for biking we do have some amazing places in England all the best sue donny x
We really do Donny. We’ll never run out of places to explore in our beautiful country 👍🏻 x
Nice video Sue.
Thank you ❤️
Hi Sue. Like your new specs. Try not to sit on them.🙂🙂🙂
Thanks Graham. I’ll try my best not to but going off past experiences … 🫤
No spare chins needed here, we’ve got enough to donate to charity!!
Smokehouse looks reet tasty.
Pub grub, beer and sleeping in a carpark sounds perfect 👌🏼
It was a cracker and one I’d wanted to try for a while. Damn chins, I just can’t give them away 😂😂
@@CamperVanya at least yours aren’t exaggerated by stubble (Sarah’s too) 😉
@@Professionalmoochers Not yet they’re not .. 🤣
Great little vlog,
Living not far from there (barrowford) I've never heard of the little village, so now it's on my list 👌
Have you any "campervanya" stickers?
It’s worth a visit some time for sure. Yes I have stickers. If you want to PM me an address I’ll send one out (I’m on FB, Twitter & Insta) 😊👍🏻
6ea great vibes mste
Cheers! 😊👍🏻
Hi, what's the track called the starts 4mins in?
Hi there, it’s ‘Salt Lake Seagull’ by Chris Shards. Thanks for watching 😊👍
Looked like a lovely pub stop....did think it looked rather crowded when you pulled in.
Nice little cycle ride too. I do like the way you show the route on the maps 👍😊
I was just wondering if you had room to squeeze a Campervan Gaz sticker on your fridge 🤔
Cheers 😊
A really great little pub stop this one. I’ve always space for a Campervan Gaz sticker! but I used to have a PO Box address form sticker swaps and don’t have that anymore. 🫤
You like finding these precarious cycling tracks don’t you 😃looks a loverly place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Appogies for sending you the message twice, not sure why it does that, my first message always fails so I send it again hence why you get 2 😂
That happens to me a lot on Instagram. So many gremlins in these apps haha.
