  • Berwickshire caravan park in the grounds of 18th-century Paxton House
  • A 10-minute drive to Berwick-upon-Tweed beaches, ruins and boat trips
  • Woodland walks, adventure playground, Tweed river trips from the site
Want to see how the other half lives? Pack a bag and park yourself in the walled garden at Paxton House Caravan Park. This Berwickshire pile was built in the Palladian style in 1763 for a nobleman who planned to live in it, then inherited a castle and moved there instead. Staying in this small park on the 80 acres of grounds, visitors can take in this popular landmark at their leisure, with river walks and boat trips down the Tweed and/or by delving into the history of the house and its collections of art and furniture. The kids can let off steam on the adventure playground and follow woodland trails to discover wildlife and maybe encounter a fairy or two. For practical things like pubs and grub and shops, as well as sandy beaches, estuary walks, ruins, sea safaris and fishing trips, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a brilliantly convenient 10 minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This tranquil site within Paxton House's walled garden offers spacious, level pitches with excellent access to beautiful grounds and riverside walks. Guests praise the peaceful atmosphere, wildlife, and convenient location. While the two combined toilet/shower wet rooms are a bonus, their maintenance and number for the site's capacity are noted as areas for improvement. Despite this, many plan to return.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Peaceful setting, only us on this beautiful site, situated in an old walled garden in the grounds of Paxton house, we just stayed for 1 night on route to deepest Scotland. Facilities very basic but ok, we knew what we were getting. Nice cafe in the nearby Paxton House and a lovely pub with food nearby in the village of Paxton

Liked Empty, spacious, very well maintained, access to fabulous dog walks nearby. Toilet block spotless and facilities for campervan very good and well thought out.

Disliked Followed signs for checkin but couldn’t find anywhere or anyone( we are new to this!!) so we just parked wherever we liked within the walled garden and had a great time. Hope that was correct. No criticism at all it was great!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We had a fantastic few days here. The walled garden site is fabulous and beautifully kept with fruit trees growing all around.
Paxton House and gardens are a delight, and with the whole estate to explore it’s also a great place to walk the dog.
Beautiful walks along the river Tweed to chain bridge are a must.

Disliked Nothing. Perfect

Liked Amazing place, very calm, huge spaces. I love the area, the estate and did do a guided tour of the house this time. It is worth it! Also you can walk with the dogs on the estate and alongside the river. The small cafe is so cute build in the former stables, serves tasty food and great cake.

Local attractions

History is never far away in these parts, and the glimpses you’ll get of Lindisfarne half an hour's drive away will doubtless lure you out during your stay. Wild and peaceful, the ruins of the priory and the castle point to the long and turbulent human past of the place while the colonies of puffins and waders carry on regardless. Check tide times if heading out by car; boat trips to and round make a leisurely way to visit with seal and puffin spotting possibilities en route. There are many more castles to peruse, if that’s your penchant: Bamburgh, still occupied but open to visitors, is half an hour’s drive away. Despite being 700 years old, Alnwick (45 minutes) is also still home to the descendants of its original owners and a must-see for JK Rowling fans as the film location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The little villages of Beadnell and Seahouses (45 minutes away) form the gateway to the Northumbria Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a sea-hugging zone stuffed with chances to go rockpooling and paddleboarding, plus coastal paths and bike trails as well as a haven for wildflowers and (yes, really) wild cattle. Half an hour’s drive gets you to the edge of Northumbria National Park, packed with Roman remains, climbing in the Cheviot Hills and paths around Kielder Water. Further afield, the museums, culture, lively pubs and (of course) the castle of Edinburgh are very doable for a day trip, an hour and 20 minutes away.
