Northumberland

Hi All

We are thinking of taking our van to Northumberland next year in Sept. Would welcome any suggestions as to sites, we like peace and quiet, but also like a few home comforts as we both are now over 70, thanks in advance Clive

We used the C&CC site at Haltwhistle in September. It's nice and quiet, relatively small at about 50 pitches.

The facilites, although spotless, are a little tired and need updating.

Lots of wildlife in the area, spotted the red squirrel on site.

Practical Caravan Magazine December 2006 should help.

Hi Clive, we went to Northumberland for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We normally only use CC sites but Seaview was full(and it`s not in a nice place anyway) so we stayed at East Ord Country Park in Berwick, and was quite impressed. Good clean facilities,we got a `superpitch` without asking, small bar & restaurant on site, small shop just outside the gates and a cracking local country pub doing good food and real ale less than five minutes walk away. It`s also easy to get to, so you can quickly get to Berwick, Bamburgh,Lindisfarne etc. They also have a website.

Wherever you end up, enjoy it. We did and willbe going back to see some more.

Northumberland is a top place!

CC River breamish site is very well placed inland, 20 mins from Alnwick. Its a good base for the Cheviott hills, NT cragside, the coast, Bamborough, Craster...the list goes on

Northumberland!!!

Where do you start/stop the praises of this wonderful part of the country? We have spent many happy hours travelling around.

However, just a word of warning! Don't forget to pack your waterproofs - the weather can get might inclemant. Having said that we still return, annually.

Have a look on South Meadows Caravan site - you can find it through Google. Although it is privately run we have alway enjoyed our stay there. 15 miles north of Alnwick/15 miles south of Berwick. About 1 mile inland from the A1 (although you don't hear the traffic. Adjacent to a village for supplies and good pubs. There is even a golf course near to the entrance. Ideal for staggering back after a couple of bevvies. Yes, they do let 'strangers' in at no extra cost, and they did do reasonable food.

Hope this is helpful. I am sure you will enjoy your stay!
