  • Pop-up touring site overlooking the Northumberland coast
  • Dunstanburgh Castle 15 minutes' drive; 20 minute to Alnwick
  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes' walk from the beach and local pub
Fancy nesting in the Northumberland National Landscape for a little while – and with a sea view too? Motorhome and caravan tourers can do so in a fabulous location at Link House Farm, a pop-up site on a farm overlooking the coast about half a mile from the village of High Newton-by-the-Sea. This is a no-frills setup, with no electric hookups and just portable toilets and a a chemical disposal point on the facilities front, but it's mightily peaceful and scenic – the spacious pitching field is level and in an elevated position to give it wonderful views over coast and countryside. It's a laidback place where kids and dogs are welcome (as long as the latter are kept on leads so they don't disturb livestock in the neighbouring fields). Being able to see the sea from the site should give you a hint that there's beach action not far away – and in fact it’s only about a 10-minute walk to Link House beach, a long dog-friendly stretch of sand. The local pub is also only about 10 minutes' walk away – just the spot for a refreshing drink after a long coastal walk or perhaps a round at one of the golf courses spread along this stretch of coast. There’s some great birdwatching in this area too, particularly in the wildlife ponds at Low Newton-by-the-Sea or along the Long Nanny river estuary. Sea fishing, watersports and cycle rides may also fill some of your time – or perhaps touring historic castles like Alnwick, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh, all of which are within a 20-minute drive.

What customers say

A popular, no-frills pop-up site with a fantastic location near a beach & pubs. Expect spacious, level fields for privacy & quiet. Basic but adequate facilities (portaloos, water) are fine for self-contained campers. Extra toilets would be good during peak times. Beautiful scenery & peace are big draws.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Perfect stop over for Seahouses. Spent two pleasant nights here and witnessed a fabulous sunset. 10 minute walk over the dunes to lovely long sandy beach. Nice clean site with good spacing between pitches. Facilities good but no drive-over grey waste. Not a problem for us as we carry a hose. We enjoyed the company of the animals particularly the beautiful race horses!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Large flat field with basic facilities such as water tap, porta loos, chemical disposal. Plenty of room to spread out between neighbours. 5 to 10 min stroll down to fantastic beach. 5 mins to joiners pub. Fabulous walks North or South along coast. Had a very peaceful night.

Andrea F.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Beautiful scenery, friendly staff gave an occasional drive by and wave, very spacious field, enjoyed the sunsets. 5 mins walk from the historic coastal path with fabulous beaches, castles and traditional pubs

Disliked Portaloos left a lot to be desired by the Sunday morning but wouldn’t stop me returning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi we clean the loos every morning and take away any excess rubbish when the bins are full.
The toilets where merely littered with paper towels where someone had pulled a fistful out and placed the excess on the floor instead of placing beside the loo. Other than that they were okay but religiously cleaned and washed out as usual by our little team:)

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff, level pitches.

Liked Location is ideal. Walks from the site in all directions. Gasto-pubs within walking distance.
Portaloo was a bonus, clean and well maintained.
Scenery was lovely, beach was perfect. I felt safe as a single traveler.

Local attractions

There’s almost no avoiding castles in this area, which was at the forefront of potential invasions for centuries. Along the coast, a couple of popular spots are the atmospheric ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (15 minutes' drive) and the imposing Bamburgh Castle (20 minutes), a place full of tales of knights, dragons and Vikings. Lindisfarne Castle (40 minutes) on Holy Island is another wonderful place to visit. Inland, the likes of Alnwick Castle (20 minutes), Chillingham Castle (35 minutes) and National Trust - Cragside (45 minutes) hold plenty of appeal for history lovers (and Harry Potter fans too, in the case of Alnwick). For wildlife outings, take a boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses (15 minutes) or visit Andy Howey’s Birds of Prey and Reptiles Centre (half an hour). Something a bit active? There’s a surf school in Amble (20 minutes) and several golf courses close by, including Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course (10 minutes) and Seahouses Golf Club (15 minutes), both with fabulous (albeit possibly distracting) sea views.
