  • Spacious touring pitches at a site 15 minutes’ drive from Morpeth
  • Druridge Bay Beach 25 minutes’ drive; Dunstanburgh Castle half an hour
  • Indoor and outdoor play areas; on-site pub and grill; launderette
Forget Me Not Country Park – well, forgetting this site on the outskirts of the village of Longhorsley, 15 minutes’ drive from Morpeth, is unlikely to happen. For not only is the place surrounded by spectacular countryside, but it also benefits from a pretty privileged position, about 25 minutes’ drive from both Northumberland National Park (to the west) and the Northumberland coast (to the east), where expansive sandy stretches like grassy dune-backed Druridge Bay Beach await exploration. Open throughout the year, Forget Me Not has spacious, hardstanding and fully serviced touring pitches, as well as large areas of lawn where you can set up the barbecue (for provisions, there’s a village shop in Longhorsley and a supermarket in Longframlington, 10 minutes’ drive). If keeping a watchful eye on your bangers and burgers sounds like too much work, the on-site Prince William Bar and Grill serves fish and chips and sandwiches, not forgetting desserts with lashings of custard; there are also a couple of restaurants within a 10-minute drive along the A697. Outdoor and indoor playgrounds (a miniature adventure course and a soft play area, respectively) make the site popular with families, who might also appreciate the parent-and-baby room and the launderette. A modern shower and toilet block includes facilities for disabled guests.

What customers say

This immaculately maintained and beautifully laid out park receives consistent praise for its cleanliness, modern facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests highlight the excellent bar and restaurant offering good value food, the spacious and well-serviced pitches, and the enjoyable children's play areas. While generally highly recommended for motorhomes and families, some visitors noted issues with Wi-Fi costs, motorhome waste disposal points, and occasional difficulties with early departures due to deposit refunds. A few reviews also mentioned an incident involving disruptive behaviour from other guests.

The Paddocks fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Location very clean facilities great pub and restaurant on site 👍

Disliked We have a motorhome and a dog like most people with touring caravans, the fact that the site is quite remote means we can't use the pub as its not dog friendly which is the only reason we will not be going back unless it changes 😟

The Paddocks fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Immaculately laid out site, predominantly statics but with a designated area specifically for tourers. Very well maintained facilities. Club house was open when we visited, great that it had adults only area.

Disliked Sadly no inside area for dogs in the club, only outside.

Local attractions

Among the highlights at Northumberland National Park are the Drake Stone, a massive sandstone boulder; and Thompson’s Rock, also known as the Solstice Stone due to a hole that runs through it and that aligns with the midsummer sunset. The Simonside Hills are a top place for a hike, and you might spot deer and red squirrels. On a headland overlooking the North Sea, Dunstanburgh Castle (half an hour) now stands in ruins, but it must have been quite the forbidding stronghold in its 14th-century heyday. After checking out its ruined towers, walk into the fishing village of Craster to sample the local delicacy: smoked kippers. Step into the past at Beamish, the Living Museum of the North (45 minutes). This open-air museum recreates a range of settings typical of North-East England, such as a pit village at the turn of the 20th century, a 1940s farm complete with Land Girls, and a 1950s town.
