  • Quiet countryside park among ancient woodland
  • Tyne fishing available nearby: permits at reception
  • Wildlife haven a short walk from the village of Ovingham

Customer service is the name of the game at The High Hermitage Caravan Park, a peaceful place in the Northumberland countryside where staff are always on hand to deal with queries or concerns, and to keep the amenities up to high standards.

The landscape includes ancient woodland and the site's own stream, Kitty's Burn, all in a wildlife haven a short walk from the village of Ovingham via a few friendly local pubs. Many guests use the park as a base for the Northumberland coast; other famed destinations like Hadrian's Wall and Alnwick Castle are within easy reach.

The High Hermitage is less than a mile from Prudhoe railway station, where you can access trains to Newcastle, Carlisle, Hexham and Glasgow.

Fishing is available on site; pick up a permit at reception.

    Site really nice. In a great location which was very quiet. The owner was very friendly and even though we were there only 3 nights he checked on several occasions that we were OK and happy with our plot. The White Swan hotel about 15 minutes walk from the site is worth a visit for a meal or a drink and had live sports if that’s what you want. I
    Disliked: 

    Only one toilet in the gents. It was quiet when we were there so not a problem but if the site is busy I can imagine a bit of a queue at times. Having said this the toilet block and shower were very clean.
