  • Pop-up touring site overlooking the Northumberland coast
  • Dunstanburgh Castle 15 minutes' drive; 20 minute to Alnwick
  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes' walk from the beach and local pub
Fancy nesting in the Northumberland National Landscape for a little while – and with a sea view too? Motorhome and caravan tourers can do so in a fabulous location at Link House Farm, a pop-up site on a farm overlooking the coast about half a mile from the village of High Newton-by-the-Sea. This is a no-frills setup, with no electric hookups and just portable toilets and a a chemical disposal point on the facilities front, but it's mightily peaceful and scenic – the spacious pitching field is level and in an elevated position to give it wonderful views over coast and countryside. It's a laidback place where kids and dogs are welcome (as long as the latter are kept on leads so they don't disturb livestock in the neighbouring fields). Being able to see the sea from the site should give you a hint that there's beach action not far away – and in fact it’s only about a 10-minute walk to Link House beach, a long dog-friendly stretch of sand. The local pub is also only about 10 minutes' walk away – just the spot for a refreshing drink after a long coastal walk or perhaps a round at one of the golf courses spread along this stretch of coast. There’s some great birdwatching in this area too, particularly in the wildlife ponds at Low Newton-by-the-Sea or along the Long Nanny river estuary. Sea fishing, watersports and cycle rides may also fill some of your time – or perhaps touring historic castles like Alnwick, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh, all of which are within a 20-minute drive.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, no-frills pop-up campsite in a fantastic location, just a short walk from beautiful beaches and local pubs. Campers appreciate the spacious, flat field offering plenty of room to spread out. Basic facilities include portaloos, fresh water, and chemical waste disposal. While some mention the portaloos could be improved or more numerous during peak times, many find them clean and adequate for a self-contained stay. The site offers great value and is ideal for exploring the coast.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Love this site and location. Have stayed many times. Love that it is peaceful and there is so much space for pitches, an amazing beach and lovely views. Great to see owners have taken onboard previous feedback in comments and have clearly labelled and installed additional water supplies so drinking tap is not used for anything else.

Shame the site is not open longer over the summer.

Local attractions

There’s almost no avoiding castles in this area, which was at the forefront of potential invasions for centuries. Along the coast, a couple of popular spots are the atmospheric ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (15 minutes' drive) and the imposing Bamburgh Castle (20 minutes), a place full of tales of knights, dragons and Vikings. Lindisfarne Castle (40 minutes) on Holy Island is another wonderful place to visit. Inland, the likes of Alnwick Castle (20 minutes), Chillingham Castle (35 minutes) and National Trust - Cragside (45 minutes) hold plenty of appeal for history lovers (and Harry Potter fans too, in the case of Alnwick). For wildlife outings, take a boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses (15 minutes) or visit Andy Howey’s Birds of Prey and Reptiles Centre (half an hour). Something a bit active? There’s a surf school in Amble (20 minutes) and several golf courses close by, including Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course (10 minutes) and Seahouses Golf Club (15 minutes), both with fabulous (albeit possibly distracting) sea views.
