Ideal spot for visiting East Northumberland. V convenient for A1. Hard standing a necessary facility early in the year. Yes it is within walking distance of Alnwick centre, but it is about 1.75 miles. Co-op shop at filling station 0.4 miles, large Sainsburys 0.65 miles. Previous reviewer noted 'some road noise' - yes, it could be heard occasionally from the awning, but we didn't hear it from inside the van. Occasional daytime sounds from the nearby Enterprise Park and farmers' birdscarers - you are in the country after all! Less than 5 mins walk to the ( relatively new) Aln Valley Railway Trust base (ignore the signs from the road - it's just off the end of the lane to the CL!) CL reasonably well sheltered. Ideal for en-route overnighting, peaceful for longer stays.
