Here are a few of the Camping & Caravanning Club sites we have visited
Burnfoot Park Village, Haltwhistle
Haltwhistle Camping and Caravanning Club Site is in a clearing of Bellister Wood, once the property of Bellister Castle Estate and now managed by the National Trust. There are many red squirrels in the trees surrounding the pitches and wild garlic grows in the dell next to the site.
