Just returned from Old Hartley site after 3 night stay. Pitches quite small on a fairly steep slope but we were lucky to get a pitch at the bottom of the site which was level and had fantastic views of St Marys lighthouse. Toilet and shower block needs a makeover - looks a bit dated although it was clean. Caught the local bus into Newcastle which we would not do again - 1 hour on a bus to do 10 miles! Cycled to Tynemouth which was a lovely place to visit with a fort/castle and great pubs and restaurants. Wardens very friendly. On site shop could do with stocking more products.
