The site is lovely and well maintained. There is some road noise from the A66 but it's not too intrusive. The local road into West Gilling is noisy if you're pitched next to it, we were as the pitches there look inviting. It didn't spoil our stay and we will come back again but try and move away from the local road. Its worth noting when towing you're probably going to be on the A66, the traffic is fast, you'll need your wits about you when accessing and leaving the site. There is plenty to do locally, during our stay we visited the HMS Trincomalee museum in Hartlepool, well worth the effort and good value.
