The Afterlands

New

Simple pitches in a large field with views to the Northumberland coast
A five-minute drive to Craster or Dunstanburgh Castle
Pizza shop and café/gift shop over the road; Embleton 15 mins' walk

This is one of those excellent locations that’s both thoroughly rural and also highly convenient. The Afterlands is a simple site in the Northumberland Coast National Landscape, with fantastic views across the surrounding fields towards the sea in the distance, but with village and other amenities handily close by. The majority of those amenities are in Embleton, which is 15 minutes’ walk away and home to a couple of pubs and a farm shop. Even closer are the gift shop, café and pizza shop just over the road, and the bus stops just outside the site (for services to Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Bamburgh, among other places). This location also puts you within easy reach of all sorts of ways to fill your days, whether you fancy taking an easy half-hour walk from the site to Embleton Bay, checking out the area’s many castles or boarding boat trips to the wildlife-filled Farne Islands. Walks, bike rides and birdwatching are all popular local activities, and there are surf beaches (and surf lessons) close by as well. Life on site is pretty simple – you’ll be staying in a large open field with plenty of space for your awning, gazebo and camping chairs for a comfortable stay. There are portable toilets for use in the field, but please note there are no showers or electric connections on site.
