The CL itself is very flat and is immaculately maintained with short, well mown grass (with clippings collected!). The four hard standings are not particularly long (our van is not long but we had to have the jockey wheel on the grass), but are quite wide meaning that vans could be pitched either way. There are two grass pitches which are alternated to protect and maintain the grass quality. Each pitch, grass or hard standing, has its own water tap and drain and EHU points between pitches. Wildlife abounds in the area with a nature reserve and lakes just across the River Breamish bounding the CL. There is a footbridge over the river next to the ford but unless you have a substantial 4 x 4 I wouldn't suggest trying to go through it. It is very rocky). As has been mentioned the petrol station in Powburn seems to sell everything and as a bonus for those with the club fuel card it is an Esso station. The well used road from the site to the main road (A697) is a bit twisty, bouncy and slightly narrow in places but this is only just over 1 mile so isn't a problem. Others have already written about what is in the area so I won't repeat it other than to mention Chillingham Castle and the Wild Cattle about 10 miles away. The castle interior and its contents can only be described as fascinatingly 'bizarre' whilst a visit by Land Rover to see the wild cattle is a unique experience. If you're lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) you may witness a fight between the bulls which happens quite frequently, apparently. To see everything in the castle and then see the cattle I suggest making two visits as the castle is only open during the afternoon and the last cattle tour is at 3.15pm (no cattle tours on Saturdays). This is certainly a CL that I can highly recommend and will use it again if touring that area of Northumberland in the future.
