weather against us...

...but it didn't stop our enjoyment one bit, so nice of the owners to phone us at our prior stop to warn us it was 'a bit wet' and would we mind going on the hardstanding, not at all, what a pleasant surprise to find not only had they installed one but it had ehu too ! Indeed if we hadn't been on there I seriously doubt we would have got off when we eventually left, it was a godsend. great for access to Beamish and loads of other attractions (and eggs too :D )

A lovely friendly CL

We have just spent a lovely week on this CL. Tony and Christine who own the site are lovely friendly people, who will go out of their way to help you. Fresh eggs from Tony's chickens were given to us on arrival and we had them for breakfast the following day, they were lovely. The surrounding scenery and view from site is fantastic, and there are too many places to visit in the area within the space of a week. We have been caravanning for 45 years now, and have visited all manner of sites in that time. This is one site we will definitely be returning to.

A Great CL

I loved my stay here. The scenery, the warm welcome (delicious free-range eggs and a custard tart!). Very handy for Durham's Park & Ride, Beamish Museum etc. What an immaculate site. There is electricity hook-up possible but who needs it!?

Read my lips...

Read my lips... YOU DON'T NEED ELECTRIC HOOK-UP! We spent a week on this lovely site, watched an hour or so of tele most nights, ran the pump, lights and motor mover - and still had half power left in the battery. Granted the battery is less than a year old, but even so... Great views, and three off-road cycling tracks nearby on disused railway lines. Superb! Durham Park & Ride down the road. We climbed to the top of the cathedral tower (389 steps). They were ringing the bells, and we felt the tower moving... Definitely be going back - and the freshly laid eggs were superb!

A Real Gem !!

We have just stayed on this site for the past few nights and we have had a most enjoyable and relaxing stay. The owners are extremely helpful in every way and will really go out of their way to assist in any way. On arrival we was greeted by Tony with a couple of fresh eggs from the local Chickens that they keep, and the day after we were chatting in the kitchen getting some of the local knowledge of Restaurants and drives around some of the local villages. Some of the views locally are breath taking and I would highly recommend it. All in all a cracking CL site that is undoubtedly a credit to the Caravan Club. Considering that we have only stayed on 1 CL site in the past 9 years I think that we will be stopping over here a few more times in the future. I would highly recommend this site. Thank you Mr + Mrs Gallimore :-)

All a CL should be.

My family and I stayed here for two nights whilst in the area for The Great North Run weekend. It was the perfect base for us with easy access to the A1. A quiet site with a nice outlook and walks within easy reach. The owners were very friendly and we were even treated to a welcome gift of fresh eggs for our breakfast. If you enjoy a little bit of quiet and the simple pleasures of a CC location then give Old Bridge End a try for yourself.

Perfect CL for Durham and surrounding area

This is a lovely CL and a credit to the network. It is situated with far reaching views of the surrounding countryside and there are excellent walks from the site, but at the same time it is very convenient for visiting Durham and the many attractions in the area. The site is beautifully maintained without losing its natural rural appeal. Perhaps the most special thing about it though is the couple who own it. They will give you a lovely friendly welcome, the benefit of good local knowledge and the feeling that they would happily help out in any way they could if needed. The best CL in the area!
