  • 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
If it’s a high-quality, well-managed and memorable Northumberland retreat you’re after, Forget Me Not Country Park is the place for you. On the outskirts of Longhorsley and 15 minutes’ drive from Morpeth, it’s within easy reach of some spectacular landscapes. With Northumberland National Park to the west and dune-backed beaches like stunning Druridge Bay to the east, the park has a splendid location for exploring the very best of the region. Open all year, Forget Me Not’s spacious touring pitches are designed for comfort and convenience. Site staff members take pride in maintaining high standards across the park: facilities are regularly monitored, and rules are politely but firmly upheld to preserve the peaceful, safe and welcoming environment. You can unwind on lawns handy for barbecues, with essentials available from Longhorsley village shop – there’s also a supermarket in Longframlington (10 minutes’ drive) for larger stock-ups. If you’d prefer to dine out, the on-site Prince William Bar and Grill offers dishes like fish and chips, sandwiches and indulgent desserts; there are also several excellent local restaurants within a short drive. Everything is set up for families; leisure facilities include outdoor and indoor playgrounds with a mini adventure course and soft play zone. There’s also a dedicated parent-and-baby room, a well-equipped launderette and accessible facilities in the modern amenities block. Due to the fall of the land, a few pitches may retain minor surface water during very wet weather. Depending on pitch layout and vehicle size, you may need long hoses or electric cables; the on-site team is on hand to ensure your set-up is seamless.

Disliked You could include the main bar in the bingo and music that was going on the the adult's bar. It made people feel excluded.

The Paddocks fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful site and location. Amenities are very clean. Plenty of space around the touring pitches. Staff are very friendly. The pub on the site is welcoming and with an adults only bar which looks very cosy.

Disliked There is a dog friendly area in the pub, although this is in the family section, as our children are grown up and no longer caravan with us it would’ve been nice to be able to take the dog into the adults only bar and/or provide a more relaxed, comfortable seating area, rather than tables and chairs in this area.

The Paddocks fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked They advise its dog friendly. But no dogs are allowed in the bar. Pub or any part of the building. On leaving we informed them of our likes and dislikes. We was told its going to be all dog friendly from 1st October 2026. Great news

Local attractions

Among the highlights in Northumberland National Park are the massive sandstone Drake Stone (35 minutes’ drive) and Thompson’s Rock (20 minutes), also known as the Solstice Stone due to the hole that runs through it and aligns with the midsummer sunset. The Simonside Hills (35 minutes) 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 (half an hour’s stroll) to sample the local delicacy: smoked kippers. Step into the past at Beamish, the Living Museum of the North (45 minutes’ drive). This open-air exhibition 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.
