Welcome to sea angling! You will soon know the joys of driving for 3 hours and spending a fortune on fuel to catch bugger all! lol!

I would have said the Bristol Channel...upper channel around clevedon should be around 1.5 hours from you down the M5. Fishing not great around there at the moment though!

Same length of journey will see you in S Wales where the Rays and Doggies are now showing. Could always try Perch Rock at New Brighton for Dabs.

why not go to Birmingham airport and get a flight to Cork. Only 50 minutes and better fishing as well, at least in my humble opinion!!

Hola, I am from Birmingham, right in the middle so try and plan a few trips a year.
I find Wales is the easiest plus I bloody love the place, for any Welshies reading I am Polish not English, occasionally I will go as far as Holyhead but recently I have been to Llangoed and around New Quay.

Recently a friend of mine drove to Southampton and it took him only 2hrs 20mins which was pretty good, so I think I will have a look down there too as I very rarely venture south for fishing.....or do I...is filth banned?...
Also planning a trip to Ilfracombe as it doesn't seem a bad drive.

Have been to the east coast twice, first time nothing and the second my friend totaled his car as we arrived onto the beach front.
Easy roads, that is all I have to say on the matter.

If you fancy a serious trip I went to the Mull of Galloway once, most southerly tip of Scotland, it was absolutely stunning and well worth a visit even if you may endure doggies. It has a stunning coastline and an incredible environment/variety of spots, plus very peaceful (and clean).
Eat my first doggie that day......not relishing eating another.

Oh I do actually head to Newquay for surfing and find that a good place for mackerel.
