Northumberland – An independent spirit

Described as ‘the Holiday Destination of the Year’ by BBC’s Countryfile Magazine Awards 2017 and with more than 30 miles of magnificent coastline and world class attractions, it’s very easy to see why.

Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England, many of which, including Warkworth, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, stand guard along this beautiful coastline.

Top of your list will probably be a visit to Holy Island of Lindisfarne, before exploring the stunning beaches and picturesque fishing villages that are dotted along this unspoilt coastline and heading inland a little to enjoy Alnwick Castle and Gardens and Hadrian’s Wall within Northumbria National Park.

There is just so much to see and do in Northumberland and once you visit, will discover for yourself why people can’t wait to return to this special part of the world, time and time again.

Crazy golf and soft play.

The staff are always very friendly and go out of their way to help. My daughter loves Warren Mill and is always in the park playing before we start setting things up. It’s a lovely friendly site that I often recommend to people I know.

Superb place and facility. I’ve never been to Northumberland, and now will be returning back for the third time in 9 months (even though you are 360 miles away from me).

We stayed for 2 nights in a tent. Our children loved it! They loved the parks, the outdoor pools, football pitches and large grassed areas throughout to play games.

We absolutely love this place and will definitely return.

We love this park as the caravans are excellent and always well maintained and of course the Northumberland coast is beautiful.

Excellent staff. Very welcoming! They keep a very close eye on all aspects of the park and take immediate action to attend to any problems which arise.

Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.

Absolutely lovely campsite, great atmosphere, felt really welcomed. Amazing views and great distance from local tourist attractions, will definitely be returning soon!

We hired your BBQ hut and what a fab idea it was! Kids loved it, it was a fab little experience.

Exceptionally clean shower block and very helpful friendly staff.

Excellent park, easy to get to, will definitely recommend to friends and family and will return in the future.

We have travelled all over the UK in our motor home. Waren Mill was one of the first sites we stayed at and has remained our favourite!
