This is one of our favourite sites being not too far from home and convenient to the town but in the country too. We are Friends of the Bowes Museum so visit there every time we stay. They have recently increased admission charges to £14 but that allows for free return visits for a year. I'm sure that will put off some people from visiting especially if they are from away. The site is kept immaculately and we were greatly helped by the wardens in finding a quiet pitch for our daughter who has an illness which makes her noise sensitive. It made our holiday. We shall be back again next month.
