As the title suggests, we have just returned from a fortnight at the caravan club site at Berwick upon Tweed. The site is about a 20 minute walk from the town centre and overlooks the harbour. The site seems to be in the middle of a council estate and is definitely not a rural retreat. But don't let that put you off, we think it's well worth a visit for it's views and the surrounding area. The site is about 10 mins off the A1, 20 -30 mins from holy island, bamburgh and seahouses. The site has typical cc facilities and the wardens are helpful and friendly, with a relaxed approach to unit placing on pitches. They are happy for you to nose on to enjoy the views, which if you are lucky and with a decent pair of binoculars, might include a seal or 2!!
We had mixed weather the 1st week so spent it in Berwick, around site and walking on quite deserted beaches. The 2nd week gave us almost continual dry, sunny weather. We had a brilliant boat trip to the farne islands, seeing lots of birdlife and seals, a day on lindisfarne, a trip to cragside ( a national trust house, garden and estate) and more time enjoying the quite sandy beaches the area has in abundance.
In, fact it was that good we are going again later in the year!!
Photo's to follow soon.
