Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: I stayed here for 1 night by myself. The pre arrival instructions were helpful as sat nav isn’t great at getting you there. It’s an absolutely beautiful quiet location but near to facilities. The views are great and the person who checked me in was super friendly and helpful. I was given a little tour, everything was spotlessly clean. I was able to borrow a firepit which made my stay even better. You can’t keep your car at your pitch but you’re able to unload right next to it and move your car which is just the perfect solution. I wish I could have stayed longer and I’ll definitely be back. Some sort of play area for children would be the icing on the cake as I plan to come back with my daughter, but also get that it’s a quiet site and may not fit in. Loved watching the sunset

Local attractions

Heritage is all around here: local village Easington is home to an ancient church famed as a sailor's landmark, and is a former mining town with colliery remnants including a pit cage and pit wheel monuments at the nature reserve on the old pit site. More old mining bits and bobs can be picked up on the local beaches, including sea coal and sea glass. Walk through the woods and along the coastal path to the seaside town of Seaham, its beaches and harbour; the area around the farm is a wildlife haven too, so the quiet of foot might see deer and badger setts along the way. Like most the beaches along this stretch of Durham coast, those at Seaham are popular for sea fishing, particularly from the Featherbed rocks to Ryhope Dene. Hartlepool (25 minutes) has the HMS Trincomalee and the Maritime Experience on its quayside; at Durham, meander along the river for viewsome looks at the spectacular cathedral and castle.
