A new and affordable way to explore one of the Northumberland Coast's best-loved beauty spots has emerged, with the opening of a caravan and camping site.
One of the first beaches you'll get to if you start at the southern end of the Northumberland Coastal Route, the windswept sands of Druridge Bay are some of the wildest in the county. Even in the summer, you can have huge swathes of the shore to yourself, probably why it's such a popular spot among dog walkers and horse riders - and no wonder it was named one of the best beaches near Newcastle by Condé Nast Traveller.
And now, visitors wanting to experience this magnificent beach will be able to stay in the surrounding country park overnight for the first time thanks to the opening of a new caravan and campsite. The family campsite, run by Northumberland County Council will have 20 touring caravan or campervan pitches once fully complete, each available with electric and water as well as eight tent pitches, all available with electric.
