Why stay here ...
Middridge Meadows is a quiet, tranquil site, set on a small livery yard on the outskirts of Middridge Village, County Durham. The site has plenty of open space with level grass and hard-standing pitches available and these are suitable for both caravans and motorhomes. Easy access to the site is obtained via a wide, good quality hard-surfaced track. We encourage waste recycling and have separate bins for general waste, cardboard, metal and glass. The pitches have electrical hook-ups and space for awnings is also included.
The site is on a bus route and there is a bus stop a short walk away in Middridge village (timetables are available in our information hut). There are also two train stations nearby in Newton Aycliffe and Shildon which are both approximately 2 miles away. Visitors to the site will be able to see plenty of horses, birds and other wildlife in the surrounding countryside and our land adjoins a local nature reserve. For keen walkers there is a network of public footpaths surrounding the site with a detailed Ordnance Survey map available in our information hut along with loads of ideas for places to visit during your stay. There is also coarse/ game fishing and golf within 5 miles of the site.
Our CL site is an ideal base for exploring the North East of England, with good links to the A1 from which you can visit Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Sunderland, Hartlepool and Weardale which are all within an hour's drive. There is a very popular village pub serving good quality food all day within walking distance of the site (about 500 metres) and The Shildon Railway Museum (with free entry) is less than 2 miles away. There is a local shop about 2 miles away and large supermarkets in Newton Aycliffe and Shildon which are about 3 miles away.
Whilst staying on our site we would recommend that you take the opportunity to visit some of the many attractions available in the North East. In our information hut/pool table room we have provided plenty of ideas to inspire you. From the beautiful cathedral city of Durham, Hartlepool's Historic Quayside and Marina, Beamish Museum, Archers Jersey Ice Cream, The Metro Centre, Hamsterley Forest and Butterfly World at Preston Park to name but a few, there is sure to be plenty of choice to suit all tastes.
We look forward to welcoming you to our CL site soon. Please visit our Website for further information.

Terrific CL
Middridge Meadows Livery
Booking was straightforward, efficient simple which resulted in thorough email detailing all needed to facilitate a smooth arrival and pitch. We chose first pitch through gate next to 2 pigs “Phil & Grant” (didn’t actually know they were there till one brief squeal), needed a bit of levelling, and it was the pitch that loses the sun first in evening but probably best outlook with a bit of view of trees and horses in paddocks. Very pleasant green site mainly surrounded by high hedge/trees. The location of this CL is it big bonus as believe lots of places within easy drive, or if like us you use bus as stop is literally outside the main entrance gate with frequent service. We went to Bishop Auckland- excellent bus service. The train station at Newton Aycliffe is walkable too via the delightful Nature Reserve albeit probably a 30 minute one. We also walked to Sheldon via Walkers Lane and onto the cycle track The Locomotion Way which leads you to the free Locomotion railway museum. Well worth a visit and a little cafe. It seems a lot of folk use this CL as a stopover when travelling which can understand. Only really minor disappointment was the two large industrial bins were next to our pitch during our visit so not very nice to sit outside in the vicinity of, plus some very inconsiderate fellow campers slinging glass bottles into bins loudly. This would not stop us recommending and staying again as excellent.
Very peaceful

Lovely peaceful site. Owners are very easy to communicate with. Easy to find as long as you follow owners directions. We will most certainly use this lovely CL again.

Lovely oasis
Middridge Meadows Livery
Used this site on route north. It's an oasis of nature and calm in a very developed area . Very secure and easy access...had no trouble having researched it first. Set well back from the road. Fabulous dog walk through nature reserve...(100yds along road past the houses.) There looks to be lots of interest in the area and would have no hesitation about returning to explore further.
Don’t follow the postcode!!
Middridge Meadows Livery
Quiet site, good for our stopover to Scotland, had a bit of trouble finding CL and thanks go to a lovely Gentleman at the end of Walkers Lane who sent me to the CL as I used the postcode given in site’s book! directions could of been better as the gentleman said I wasn’t the first and won’t be the last ending up outside his house. Information room a little out of date but free pool table inside is good and we had much fun at this CL. For 12 quid it’s a bargain

Stopover
Middridge Meadows Livery
We just used this site as a stop-over enroute to Scotland on the Friday evening. We were lucky to get in as we rang up as we were approaching the area. The lady we spoke to wasn't able to meet us at the CL - but we were given clear instructions as to where to find it and we were also given the combination of the lock on the gate so as to gain access to the livery yard. We were advised to leave our payment in the secure payment box in the little wooden cabin - which we did. We cannot comment further really on the site - it served its purpose for us. It wasn't a particularly large site - somewhat "cosy" - so not sure whether outfits stay for any length of time would get an awning up. We certainly wouldn't be able to use our awning on our motorhome. It was safe and quiet though, which was the main thing. Due to covid restrictions the pool table was out of bounds. Hand sanitisers were fitted on the wall of the cabin - and also at the "service" area.
