The site is easily accessed off the A1 and the A690, and this leads to the biggest downside of the site, the continual noise of traffic. Although it does die down during the night it is continuous from about 5:30 in the morning, and is the reason we would not use this site again. The park and Ride into Durham is about 1/2 ml from the site but walking is a bit dicey having to cross both the busy A690 and the A1 slip roads twice. There is a short dog walk on the site and the lane leading to the site can also be used. There is a Tesco, with petrol, and an Aldi at Dragonville less than 3 mls away. There are many places of interest that can easily be reached from here including Beamish and the Durham coast.
