Fantastic location and an hour’s easy walk along bridleways to Durham. Spotless and warm facilities.

Most pitches are not level - chocs required. At this time of year the grass is soft. Many of the standard hard standing pitches are accessed over the grass. Keep this in mind when choosing your pitch.

When I arrived at the site Kevin and Michael were superb, I'd managed somehow to get stuck on a really boggy part of grass close to my pitch. Both of these lads helped immediately, Michael had a large tractor on site and he pulled the van out with no effort at all. Kevin then transferred me to a different pitch and I was able to set up as normal, so a big thankyou to those two lads. We then walked around the beautiful site and found a cafe,it had just closed but the lady inside opened back up for myself and wife and my sister and her partner. We had coffee and sandwiches etc. I would recommend this site for the staff alone never mind it's location and beauty. 5 star as far as I'm concerned, and we will be returning soon .

Book this site because it's quiet and tranquil in it's medieval setting. Close to Durham City by car and a nice leg stretching walk should you choose. Dog friendly, a very clean and tidy site with good showering facilities too.
