Walkmill Campsite

Wild-style camping with amenities 10 minutes’ drive from Warkworth
Druridge Bay Country Park 20 minutes’ drive; Craster 25 minutes
Local produce; communal fridge; firepits for hire and wood for sale

An excellent spot from which to explore the spectacular Northumberland coast (and the county’s equally spectacular countryside), family- and dog-friendly Walkmill Campsite is on the outskirts of the village of Warkworth (10 minutes’ drive or a leisurely 45-minute walk). Part of an eight-acre farm, this remote and blissfully peaceful site sits tantalisingly close to the River Coquet, though it should be noted that there is no direct access to the water. There are, however, several paths that take you within view of the riverbank, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. If you bide your time, you might spot the occasional salmon leaping out of the river or an inquisitive otter. Speaking of wildlife… the site’s large grassy area, surrounded by woodland, is a haven for hares and deer, and you can take pleasant strolls among colourful wildflowers. Walkmill Campsite is 'wild camping' with the benefit of limited clean facilities. These include a shower and two toilets in the on-site facilities and two external toilets housed in wooden huts. There are also two 'eco showers' as a refreshing alternative to the former shower, and portable toilets can also be hired by guests. The caravan acts as the site's reception area, complete with tourist information, charging points, a communal fridge-freezer and a small shop selling local produce. Firepits are available to hire, and wood and small wood briquettes are sold on site. Stock up on your favourite foods in Warkworth.

Anne L. Sept 2024

Top Circle non-electric grass pitch

Liked: So much to like about Walkmill Campsite. The location is secluded and just about every detail has been thoughtfully considered. There is a choice of
pitches which are very-well spaced. We were allocated one which caught the sun in the morning and evening at the time of year (Sept). Birdlife and wildlife abounds and the whole of the centre of the field is left as meadow.
A static caravan provides loos, a shower and bath!, a lounge, a coffee-room and a kitchen area with a mini-shop providing food and drink items if needed- fresh eggs and fruit and a chiller with Northumbrian produce - honesty piggy bank. Kettles, washing-up facilities, fridge, freezer and even hot water bottles are availble 7am until 9pm. Loos and washing-up facilities outside too. The owners were very welcoming, attentive and helpful. Long may this gem remain to provide a haven for campers.

Route directions

If you are following Google Maps, please drive through Warkworth with the castle on your left. Google Maps tries to take drivers down Watershaugh Road and across the ford, which is not suitable for motorhomes or caravans and, depending upon river levels, cars too. There is a footbridge to the right of the ford for cyclists and walkers which is accessible from a narrow footpath against the hedgerow (at the last bend before you drop down to the river).

Local attractions

The village of Warkworth is a sweet little place. While history buffs explore the ruins of the 13th-century hilltop castle and riverside hermitage, wildlife enthusiasts can go on a puffin-spotting cruise to Coquet Island. Of course, you might just prefer to take it easy on Warkworth beach, a vast sandy stretch that is also popular for watersports. The landscape of Druridge Bay Country Park (20 minutes' drive) includes a dune-fringed beach (dotted with World War II defences), a boating lake and woodlands. Active types flock here to cycle, paddleboard and surf, but there is also plenty of birdwatching to be done, with swans among the winged residents. The dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (25 minutes) sit atop a promontory stretching into the North Sea. From there, take a 25-minutes coastal walk to the fishing village of Craster, where you can sample the local speciality: smoked kipper.
