"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream" or so the saying goes. And while it might only be those of us with sensitive teeth who react so emotionally to a scoop of mint choc chip, there's no denying the sheer pleasure of ice cream on a hot summer's day. So, as the days get longer and hopefully warmer, share your tips on the UK's best ice cream parlours and the weird and wonderful flavours they sell.

One of the best beaches in the world

Posted by tynegal 20 June 2009

Sandwich your beach visit with a delicious ice cream.

Okay, I'm biased because I live here, but Whitley Bay has one of the best beaches in the world - loads of sand, luscious seaweed, intriguing rock pools and an amazing view north towards the wonderfully photogenic St Mary's Lighthouse.

When you have had enough of exploring the delights left behind by the tide, head up Watts Slope onto Marine Avenue (beside the Spanish City dome which is currently being refurbished) for 'real' fish and chips from one of the many cafes and follow it with a traditionally made Italian ice cream from Delaval Ices at the Cafe Mediterraneo.
