Spacious and scenic Northumberland site two miles south of Hexham
Hadrian's Wall and Northumberland National Park within easy reach
Dog-friendly pitches with views across Hexham Racecourse

If you’re heading to Hexham and hoping to find a suitable spot nearby for an outdoor stay, take a look at Hexham Racecourse Caravan Site. This spacious park is two miles south of Hexham and well placed for visits to the market town and time spent exploring the scenic Northumberland surroundings. You don’t have to be a horse lover to stay here – but you’ll probably particularly appreciate it. As the name suggests, this site is part of the town’s racecourse (known as ‘Britain’s most scenic racecourse’), with pitches right next to the course for a real sense of atmosphere on race days. Things get pretty lively during those race days, but at other times this is a very peaceful place to stay, with lovely views over the countryside and a south-facing aspect to give you a full day of sunlight. The main amenities block has a laundry room as well as ladies’ and gents’ toilets and showers along with accessible facilities. You’re welcome to bring one or two dogs along provided they’re kept on a lead at all times on site. Getting out and about, it’s a five-minute drive to Hexham for shops, pubs and restaurants, or about half an hour to Newcastle. Hadrian’s Wall is very close by too, as are the fabulous scenery of the Northumberland National Park and North Pennines National Landscape.

From the manager: We are delighted you enjoyed your stay ay Britain's Most Scenic Racecourse and pleased to see you would recommend to family and friends.
Unfortunately we do not allow anyone on to the racecourse to protect the racing surface, also a safety matter as staff and machinery can be working.
We look forward to welcoming you back through the summer and hope the weather may be kinder.

Local attractions

Hexham (five minutes' drive) is a lovely place for a wander, with lots of independent shops and cafés as well as its Grade I-listed abbey and the Hexham Old Gaol museum. Just a little further east is Corbridge (15 minutes), best known for the Corbridge Roman Town English Heritage site. That’s just one of the sections of Hadrian’s Wall you can visit nearby – other top spots include Vindolanda and Housesteads Roman Fort (both 25 minutes). Heading to the east, you’ll reach Newcastle in about half an hour to see the famed Tyne Bridge and visit the city’s numerous museums and arts venues. There's also the option of some time on the beach at Whitley Bay (45 minutes’ drive). For a total change from urban life, set off to explore the North Pennines National Landscape or Northumberland National Park – for the latter you may like to start at The Sill National Landscape Discovery Centre (25 minutes) for an introduction to the area. There are lots of excellent places to visit, but a highlight must be Kielder Water (an hour), for its watersports and dark sky observatory.
