Waterloo 7
Waterloo is a fabulous vibrant place for all the family. South road has lots of venues for a good drink and restaurants gallore. The Little Pizza Kitchen and the Mexican are excellent quality. Stamps Too has fabulous live music as do a number of other pubs. The real gem for people coming to Waterloo is the beach and Anthony Gormleys another place plus the dunes, the lakeside walks and the lakeside centre itself which is excellent for adults and kids alike.

Ghent 7
On the contrary with what one might think, there's still a lot of green space left in the area around the Ghent Sea Harbour. E.g. the 'Dries' of Doornzele (a huge piece of land in the center of the village with nothing bur trees) or the rural area between Mendonk and Desteldonk. While making your bike tour, two free ferries allow a moment of rest and a nice view on the broad canal between Ghent and Terneuzen in the Netherlands.
