Durham Grange Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Alan Rogers Review

Durham Grange Caravan and Morohome Club site, offers 88 level, spacious pitches, 59 of which are hardstanding and 8 fully serviced. Easy access to the A1M and the A690 makes it an ideal stopover for those travelling north or south, or for visiting the historic cathedral city of Durham, the Beamish Museum and for shopping at the Gateshead Metro centre. A coppice of mature trees and newly planted shrubs mask most of the road noise and makes an attractive dog walking area. The park has been redesigned with attention to detail throughout, offering pockets of privacy and a central area with picnic tables and benches.

Dramatically set on its 70-foot rocky peninsula in a meandering bend of the River Wear, Durham is steeped in history and one of the most picturesque cities in the UK. Whether you fancy a wander to take in the sense of days gone by, or a bite to eat in the many local restaurants, the panoramic views from every vantage point make the city a holiday destination not to be missed. A visit to the World Heritage site of Durham Cathedral and Castle is a must. For a dose of fresh sea air, Seaham Beach is only a short drive away. For younger visitors, there is a play park and less than ten miles away they will enjoy a visit to the Broom House Farm Adventure Trail.
