What a lovely little place… Co Durham's Leekworth Caravan Park is a 14-acre secluded farm site with spectacular countryside views, surrounded by the north Pennines and on the outskirts of the historic market village of Middleton-in-Teesdale.
It's a riverside park, set on the banks of the River Tees with fishing for guests: how fab. If you're not up for fishing, this is walking land too, with miles of walking paths accessible nearby and the famed Teesdale Way cutting through the farm to join the Pennine Way.
The site's modern shower and toilet block has underfloor heating throughout; there's also a shower and toilet accessible to disabled guests, along with a covered washing-up area and chemical disposal.
Leekworth has a food shop on site; a well-stocked grocery shop as well as country shops and cafés are in Middleton village 10 minutes' walk away and a big supermarket is in Barnard Castle within 10 miles.

As you enter Middleton-in-Teesdale, at the bottom of the hill take the second left turn after the telephone box into Leekworth Gardens. Turn right shortly after and continue down a farm track. When you reach the farm, turn to the left onto the site.
Local attractions
Teesdale, its surrounds and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty have activities and attractions galore whatever flavour of holiday you fancy, as well as plenty of places to sup, sip and shop.
Several waterfalls are easily reached from the site, including Low Force over the Whin Sill rock, and England's highest uninterrupted drop of water High Force, under six miles away (access it from High Force Hotel for a fee or walk on the opposite side of the river from Low Force to see it for free). There's also a walk up the riverside footpath from the Bowless picnic area to Gibson's cave, past four small falls up to Summerhill Force.
If you want to dive into some Co Durham history, the town of Barnard Castle, 10 miles away, has the acclaimed and handsome Bowes Museum with its collections of art, ceramics, textiles and more, and Raby Castle just outside the village of Staindrop has another art collection as well as eighteenth century gardens surrounding its big park.
