Lovely week

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

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

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.

Great site near Beamish Museum

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.

Beautiful Scenery with Lovely Owners

The site is surrounded by beautiful countryside and you can see horses at the bottom of the site and sheep in the adjacent fields on the hillside. There is a chicken pen at the side of the site belonging to the site owners Tony and Christine. Despite it raining cats and dogs when we stayed Christine came to say hello and brought us a couple of freshly laid eggs which were very much appreciated. The country lane outside the site can be quite fast at times so we'd recommend High Vis clothing when walking on the road (there are no footpaths). Christine showed us a secure field that we could walk our dog in if required. The site slopes downwards and sideways so levelling up can be challenging. Wooden blocks were available on site to help with levelling up. The site provides the usual waste disposal facilities plus recycling facilities, fresh water and electric hook up. There are some hardstanding pitches available. It's helpful to have someone on the road checking for traffic when leaving the site with your caravan as it's uphill and turning onto a narrow at times busy road. Broom House Farm Shop is well worth a visit, the sausages are amazing.

Great CL with lovely owners. Rural location with easy access to Durham

Roughly a mile outside Witton Gilbert and 5 miles from Durham this little CL is perched on the side of a hill looking out over the rolling hills. The owners are incredibly welcoming and go above and beyond to help you make the most of your stay. There is a lovely farm shop and Cafe 15 minutes walk away, two pubs a mile away and you can either cycle into Durham or drive to the park and ride - well worth a visit. Lots of lovely walking from the doorstep and if you are lucky you may even get some eggs! We are a large (8.5m) motorhome and access was easy but pitches are sloping so most people would want some kind of Levelling solution. We will be back.

Lovely site

We received the kindest welcome from Mrs. Gallimore, a most delightful lady. The site is slightly sloping but does not take long to level as there are plenty of blocks available. Any effort put in is well worth it as the views, peace and tranquility are exceptional. We recorded a good variety of wild birds around the site including tree sparrows, as opposed to the much more common house sparrows; always a pleasure to hear their constant chattering. The obvious local attraction is the Beamish open air museum but slightly further afield and within easy reach of the site some seven miles away, is Tanfield Heritage Railway. What a lovely experience. The staff, all volunteers, were so helpful and knowledgeable, the line is beautiful, in my view, an absolute must do.

Very helpful

We had booked 1 night whilst traveling from Dover to Scotland as a stop over to visit my parents nearby. However my father took ill and we stayed with my mother. Christine, the owner allowed us to leave our caravan on her site for a few nights which gave us peace of mind as there was nowhere near my mother's to leave it. She was very kind and helpful. The views from the site looked wonderful and we plan to stay there in future. Thanks Christine.
