the pitches are too close to each other. The CL is a narrow strip of land with 7 hard-standings in a row made of rough stone. They are accessed from the CL’s access track in front of them that runs parallel to the quiet Spindlestone lane which each pitch backs onto. The track runs along the CL's boundary fence. When we arrived four pitches were already occupied. Our 5.7m motorhome with a rollout awning fitted on Pitch 3 which was the largest available but our off-side windows were close to and looked straight into Pitch 2’s awning and the narrow gap between us was used by all to access the site’s only freshwater tap, which was close to the rear corner of our pitch and van. On our other side, our awning was close to Pitch 4’s tow car which was parked on the grass in front of our awning. If we had had a caravan & tow car, there wouldn’t have been room for an awning. When the caravan on Pitch 4 left we were able to move 3 feet away from Pitch 2 and use all the grass in front of our awning, which was a big improvement. I have marked down ‘ease of arrival/welcome’ as we didn’t see the owner on arrival and nor did I during our 4-night stay or know where he lived. The entrance sign had a contact number but there were no pitching instructions and, contrary to the CAMC website, there is no information room. I and at least one other couple looked in vain for the Barrack Wood hide, the couple having been given directions by the owner. The area we think it should have been was very overgrown. The site has a very peaceful and attractive outlook and is on Cycle Route 1 which allows Lindisfarne to be reached via Belford in a 33-mile round trip and Bamburgh and Seahouses in a 14-mile round trip. There are pleasant walks from the site including to Belford and Bamburgh and to the X18 bus stop at Budle Bay which we didn’t use. Terrestrial TV reception is good.
