Paxton House (added by manager 19 Aug 2022)

Berwickshire caravan park in the grounds of 18th-century Paxton House
A 10-minute drive to Berwick-upon-Tweed beaches, castle and boat trips
Woodland walks, adventure playground, Tweed river trips from the site

Want to see how the other half lives? Pack a bag and park yourself in the walled garden at Paxton House Caravan Park. This Berwickshire pile was built in the Palladian style in 1763 for a nobleman who planned to live in it, then inherited a castle and moved there instead. Staying in this small park on the 80 acres of grounds, visitors can take in this popular landmark at their leisure, with river walks and boat trips down the Tweed and/or by delving into the history of the house and its collections of art and furniture. The kids can let off steam on the adventure playground and follow woodland trails to discover wildlife and maybe encounter a fairy or two. For practical things likes pubs and grub and shops, as well as sandy beaches, estuary walks, sea safaris and fishing trips, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a brilliantly convenient 10 minutes' drive away. It’s also got a top castle, and a hefty handful of medieval forts and towers… and you can take a horseback ride down the beach like some country squire with a walled garden…

Craig H. Sept 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: An excellent location with very Spacious pitches, We arrived just before 4 o’clock. Went to the main house to check in and spoke with a lovely lady who told us where we could go and what walks we could do in the evening and to make a way to any available pitch on the walled site. They were plenty of pitches available as there was only a dozen vans in total that stayed that night. The two washrooms with toilet and shower were absolutely fine for what we needed with all the usual other facilities available. We used this site whilst travelling back home from Scotland and in the evening we stayed, we were treated to a northern light spectacular.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: What I liked about Paxton House caravan site, was the freedom to walk around the grounds, even after the house closed.

Disliked: There is a shower to use for those on the site. However the floor was mucky with leaves and muddy foot prints. What could improve it, possibly, would be the inclusion of a mop and bucket, for those using the shower to mop the floor afterwards. This would only need emptying once a day and replacing with clean floor solution. It was a little disappointing that the walled garden itself was untidy around the edges.

Liked: Great site. Well sheltered, within a walled garden. Drinking water, grey and toilet waste disposal. Site uses a bank of solar panels to provide power to toilet/shower block and EHU's. Open all year, so planning to use over the autum and winter months. Cafe in Paxton House open 10 to 4. Berwick upon Tweed about 5 mile away. Which has full amenities

Disliked: Only 2 shower/toilets.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The quiet setting within the walled garden , beautiful. The walks around the area were great for the dogs especially the walk beside the river Tweed. Although there are no amenities apart from one combined shower/ toilet it didn’t matter as you use your own . It has got a waste water drain and a cassette toilet waste which was all you needed. All pitches are hard standing with electric and drinking water pipes are scattered around the pitches. Will definitely return.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike as long as you’re not looking for a clubhouse etc. Could possibly have free WiFi in future

Local attractions

History is never far away in these parts, and the glimpses you’ll get of Lindisfarne half an hour's drive away will doubtless lure you out during your stay. Wild and peaceful, the ruins of the priory and the castle point to the long and turbulent human past of the place while the colonies of puffins and waders carry on regardless. Check tide times if heading out by car; boat trips to and round make a leisurely way to visit with seal and puffin spotting possibilities en route. There are many more castles to peruse, if that’s your penchant: Bamburgh, still occupied but open to visitors, is half an hour’s drive away. Despite being 700 years old, Alnwick (45 minutes) is also still home to the descendants of its original owners and a must-see for JK Rowling fans as the film location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The little villages of Beadnell and Seahouses (45 minutes away) form the gateway to the Northumbria Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a sea-hugging zone stuffed with chances to go rockpooling and paddleboarding, plus coastal paths and bike trails as well as a haven for wildflowers and (yes, really) wild cattle. Half an hour’s drive gets you to the edge of Northumbria National Park, packed with Roman remains, climbing in the Cheviot Hills and paths round Kielder Water. Further afield, the museums, culture, lively pubs and (of course) the castle of Edinburgh are very doable for a day trip, an hour and 20 minutes away.
