## Reviews
### johanuitdelft - 5/5
*August 2025* 

Excellent campsite with good toilet facilities and lovely spacious pitches, grass and hardstanding. Friendly welcome. Lovely walking paths along the river and, of course, the large abbey ruins within easy reach. Downside: poor public transport connections to Durham. You have to drive or walk for 1.5 hours. Durham has a pleasant town center that's worth a visit.

### caro156 - 5/5
*August 2025* 

Great campsite next to a ruin. The facilities were super clean, and you could view the ruins and stroll around right from the campsite.

### A.J.H.Reininga - 5/5
*August 2024* 

a beautiful location next to the ruins of the old Benedictine Abbey Finchale Abbey, in which you can easily spend an hour wandering around. Friendly and helpful owners, neat and clean sanitary facilities, well-maintained grounds.
