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.

Lovely week
Old Bridge End
When we arrived at the site Christine came to meet us with a smile and a information about the site and the area.
The site has quite a slope on it so leveling blocks are needed
The view from the site was terrific looking out over the Durham countryside.
Witton Gilbert has a very nice pub for meals and convenience stores.
We had a really good week.

Great little site
Old Bridge End
Rang up and booked with Christine last minute so actually on the day- very easy and she told us our pitch number.
Lovely views, it is sloping. Went for a nice walk to Fulforth Woods. Didn’t do anything else as we went to Beamish the next day.
£18 per night. 2 eggs from the hens were received.
Recommend and will go again
A gem of a CL site
Old Bridge End
Stayed for 2 nights. On arrival was met by Christine who couldn't be more helpful, even gave us a couple of eggs for breakfast the next morning. Was given a tourist guide of Durham plus information on the local area. Lovely scenic views, a little road noise from the odd car but generally very quiet, £18 a night with EHU great value. Will stay again if in the area.
Lovely rural location
Old Bridge End
Great views, friendly owners, helpful advice and places of interest. Quiet rural atmosphere. Great for dogs. Nice to see chickens in their run. Will definitely stay again.
Great site near Beamish Museum
Old Bridge End
We visited Old Bridge End CL site in August 2023, with two of our granddaughters age 12 and 16 in our touring caravan. Christine came to welcome us with a gift of eggs from her hens, very kind greeting. We had fun siting our van, had to use the motor mover to get it level as our front wheel drive tow car could not get a grip, 4 wheel drive would be better! We had some very wet weather and the pitch got a little muddy, nothing we could not manage, sorry for the damage to the grass! We visited Beamish Museum (twice), Diggerland (we all loved it), Went to Broom House Farm, the steak and sausages are fantastic, the girls loved the woodland adventure park. We caught the park & ride to Durham (free for bus pass holders and under 16s). There is a little zoo at the garden centre, about 4 miles from the site, well worth a visit. Lots of things to do, the local Morrisons provides essentials and Aldi/Lidl are only 3 miles away. We had a great holiday, thanks to Tony & Christine, a lovely site well worth a visit.
