This was our second of six stops on our four weeker and was chosen as a stop over, however we wish now that we had booked for longer than just three nights. Access to the site was immediately off of the motorway - within 50 yards and the reason we chose to stay only for a short while but the noise from motorway traffic was a lot less than expected, in fact, not too intrusive at all. The site itself was up to the usual standards we have come to expect from the CC and it's proximity to Durham was great, walkable if that's your preference but the bus (park and ride) is only about half a mile away so we walked there and left the car on site, I must add though that cycling was not an option for us due to the busy main road. Durham City is a lovely place and really well worth a visit and we found northern folk very friendly and easy to talk to.
