The UK is pretty far behind France in the water department. I talked to a French couple who had just got off the beach and were looking for showers and drinking water. There are none at our local beaches. When they asked where they could go for a shower and to fill up their water ... I couldn't think of anywhere they could go for free. Showers and drinking fountains are all over France, along with free camping.

Well, for free camping, not evrywhere, but municipalities in the south often provide it as an alternative to the forbidden wilderness camping.
