Rebecca G. Sept 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Really like the pitch location, lovely peaceful site next to a pub for food but make sure you book. Clean and hot showers, yet the facilities are very basic and would not be to a lot of people’s tastes. Always hand wash and toilet roll but never anything to dry your hands with. Will be back again next year no doubt for our pre-GNR ritual.

Disliked: As above not really a dislike more of an observation.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Lovely weekend, staff friendly, site was clean with toilet and shower facilities. Pub next door- lovely food, staff welcoming, dogs allowed.

Disliked: No reflection on the site, will return but a note to remember for future, take cooking facilities for breakfast and hot drink as no onsite cafe and pub is not open till mid day. (My bad for presuming there would be a cafe/shop).

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Beautiful setting and views, well laid out with lots of space.

Disliked: Showers were very hot (better than cold) but couldn't see anyway to turn down and I love heat but had to dip in and out. Not super easy to spot from main road.

Local attractions

An easy – and recommended – first stopoff is Derwent Reservoir, in a handsome setting a few miles from Bolbec Manor. Take a hike (or stroll) on the well-maintained paths to Pow Hill Country Park on the south shore or Millshield picnic area on the north, or take the longer bike route around the reservoir covering some local roads as well. Drop into the visitor centre for info, the key to the bird hide on Derwent’s western edge, or a fishing permit: Derwent is a popular pick for Co Durham trout fishing. Around the North Pennines AONB, it’s well worth the 45-minute drive to Ninebanks near Hexham to access Isaac’s Tea Trail, a circular 37-mile route from there to Alston via Allendale and Nenthead. The same distance to the south and also well worth the drive is the famed waterfall of High Force, where the entire River Tees plunges 21 feet over a cliff; get to the waterfall via the Pennine Way stretch crossing the Moor House Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve. Also to the south, the market town of Bishop Auckland is home to Auckland Castle and its 800 acres of parkland, and to Binchester Roman Fort (this is Hadrian’s Wall land), a Roman fortress on the banks of the River Wear. Somewhat more modern history is at Durham and its must-see stunning cathedral.
