  • 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.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked If you like peace, tranquility, beautiful sunsets, friendly hosts, short walks to the beach, stunning scenery and wildlife you will adore this site. Dont let the portaloos put you off, they were cleaned every morning and restocked. This site is just perfect for a relaxed stay. No frills but it really doesn't need them.

Beautiful views, great location

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Just me and my dog surrounded by beautiful scenery
Two pubs and beach within walking distance

Disliked £20 to park a small VW camper in a field. I didn't use the waste station, portaloo or water.

Alright if you have all your own facilities.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked How last minute we could book.

Disliked Lack of facilities. The facilities they did have was one porta loo that was beyond full and the smell was awful.

From the manager: Hi we have added an extra porta loo.
We clean the loos every morning. Its not helped by people emptying their chemical cassettes into the loo instead of the container set to one side.

Great location and quiet site.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The site and location were perfect. A huge field enabling you to find a pitch at least a few hundred yards from your neighbours. The sea was but a 5 minute saunter down a single track road. Where you’re met by beautiful views of the Northumberland coast and feeds onto the coastal paths leading to Alnwick Cove to the North or Dunstaburgh Castle to the South. There are basic facilities as in a toilet , water and chemical waste disposal, but if you’re a self contained traveller you’ll love this location.

Disliked Grass was a bit high but I’m nitpicking…!

Great no-frills camp site. Location is amazing! We'll be back :)

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Brilliant location, generous pitch size (no restrictions really other than how other many people are there) very basic facilities (portaloo) but kept surprisingly clean. Quite busy when we were there but seems everyone was very much there for a peaceful time so it still felt quiet and relaxed.

Disliked Possibly an extra loo would be good for busier times like weekends. Something to consider if you have a camper van without a toilet. Probably a bit obvious but there aren’t washing up facilities, which was totally fine for us but could catch people with tent boxes/trailer tents off guard.

From the manager: The site is advertised for motorhomes and Campervans - i.e. self-sufficient

A great site, beautiful coastal spot

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.
