Nunnykirk Caravan Club Site

Peaceful site for wildlife lovers
Great hillside walking
Open countryside

Peace and tranquillity reign at the Nunnykirk Caravan Club Site, making it a haven for wildlife and a bird watchers dream come true. Those who enjoy hill walking will find the Simonside Hills, located near to the caravan site, particularly splendid. They make for a place where you can breathe fresh air, enjoy the space and open countryside all around you, whilst shrugging off the troubles of the everyday world. All is peace at Nunnykirk Caravan Club Site and yet this part of England has seen some of the hardest fought border battles in history. If evidence of this was needed, Hadrian's Wall can be found in the south of the county. This Roman site can be visited from the caravan park and will be an educational treat for youngsters, and keen walkers will be sure to want to experience the Hadrian's Wall path walk. A perfect antidote to modern life, you are sure to return from your break refreshed and revitalised.
