Why stay here ...
Our Certificated Location is in the countryside approximately three miles west of the beautiful Cathedral City of Durham (a world heritage site), three quarters of a mile from the village of Witton Gilbert (local newsagent and excellent pub grub) and approximately two miles from the Durham City park and ride facility (specific parking area for motor homes).
We believe we are the closest of the County Durham CLs to the amazing Beamish Living Museum of the North (15% discount on production of your CC membership card); also close by is Diggerland, drive your own Digger, also the beautiful Durham Dales and Hadrian's Wall and many other family attractions. If shopping interests you we are within easy reach of the Metro Centre, Europe's biggest shopping centre and Newcastle upon Tyne (it's possible to catch a bus to both places from the village).
Our site is slightly sloping with a good entrance and has water and disposal points. We are part hard standing and have 10amp electric hook-ups at each pitch.

Perfect Site
Tony & Christine made us very welcome and their hospitality was second to none. Thoroughly recommend this site if you're visiting Durham. Lovely rural site but very convenient as close to the Park & Ride.
