We stayed for a few days to explore the North-East. The site is just of the A1 but traffic noise did not bother us. Durham’s park and ride is useful and the city well worth a visit. There is so much to see in the area it is worth staying a few days. Highlights were Alnwick Castle and a ride on the transporter bridge in Middlesbrough. The site is well laid out and level with easily accessible pitches. The facilities are limited for the size of site but I never had to queue for the showers or experienced cold showers. The wardens are very welcoming and helpful and maintain the site to a high standard.
