| Chainbridge Caravan Site is a peaceful country park 4 miles from the historic border town of Berwick upon Tweed in Northumberland. Nina and Patrick have developed the site to cater for adults only just 50m from the River Tweed. Pitches are large hardstandings and the list of guest facilities in a new, 4 star amenities building will impress. Riverside walks, fishing and a country pub are all close-by while the best of Northumberland’s dramatic coast and the Tweed Valley are all within 30 minutes drive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Whats on nearby Our caravan site takes its name from the Union Chain Bridge, just along the river. Once a principal border crossing, you can enjoy the views crossing its 360ft span into Scotland. A little further downstream are the beautiful gardens of Paxton House. For dedicated anglers the campsite is ideally located for trout fishing as well as salmon in season. And for walkers, there is as much wildife as fish, so look out for kingfishers, otters, wildfowl; possibly even a seal. The Tweed becomes ever more scenic as you follow its valley through the Scottish Borders to the towns of Coldstream, Kelso, Newton St Boswells, Melrose and Galashiels. It is a really pleasant day’s touring. |

The nearby walled town of Berwick upon Tweed is a gem of history and architecture having been fought over for centuries by the English and Scottish monarchies due to its strategic importance as a trade route and seaport. The town is now “Officially” English and the regional commercial centre where you will find retail therapy and supermarkets. Berwick upon Tweed has a useful interactive guide to help you visit attractions around the town. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A visit to Northumberland is not complete without exploring our dramatic coastline. Rugged cliiffs, rocky islands and expansive golden beaches can all be reached within 30 mins drive from Chain Bridge. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is accessed by causeway at low tide to visit its iconic castle (pictured) and monastic ruins. The Farne Islands, rocky outcrops perilous to vessels and once the home of saints and lighthouse keepers, are now among the largest sanctuaries for seals and seabirds including Puffins. Another iconic image of Northumberland is Bamburgh Castle, magnificent coastal home to the Kings of Northumbria, now the largest inhabited castle in the country. We’ve just mentioned a little of what you can see in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Don’t forget to visit Chain Bridge Honey Farm when you want to stay around the park and there’s the World Heritage site of Hadrians Wall on your way to Chainbridge. |
