The last week in October was not the best weather wise, but this little site was just great.  As we were the only ones there, we pitched as we wanted. Slight slope but nothing too scary just take heed. Ponies and chickens in the field next to us and they sell fresh eggs (the owners not the ponies!). The site handled the heavy rain well and apart from one small squelchy bit was fine.  We found TV reception not good but this was with an aerial and those with satellite may fair better. Wonderful views and really easy access to Hadrian's Wall. Lots of museums, walks and interesting sites within a short drive. This is a quiet, small site in a brilliant position for all things Roman.
