  • Spacious touring pitches at a site 15 minutes’ drive from Morpeth
  • Druridge Bay Beach 25 minutes’ drive; Dunstanburgh Castle half an hour
  • Indoor and outdoor play areas; on-site pub and grill; launderette
Forget Me Not Country Park – well, forgetting this site on the outskirts of the village of Longhorsley, 15 minutes’ drive from Morpeth, is unlikely to happen. For not only is the place surrounded by spectacular countryside, but it also benefits from a pretty privileged position, about 25 minutes’ drive from both Northumberland National Park (to the west) and the Northumberland coast (to the east), where expansive sandy stretches like grassy dune-backed Druridge Bay Beach await exploration. Open throughout the year, Forget Me Not has spacious, hardstanding and fully serviced touring pitches, as well as large areas of lawn where you can set up the barbecue (for provisions, there’s a village shop in Longhorsley and a supermarket in Longframlington, 10 minutes’ drive). If keeping a watchful eye on your bangers and burgers sounds like too much work, the on-site Prince William Bar and Grill serves fish and chips and sandwiches, not forgetting desserts with lashings of custard; there are also a couple of restaurants within a 10-minute drive along the A697. Outdoor and indoor playgrounds (a miniature adventure course and a soft play area, respectively) make the site popular with families, who might also appreciate the parent-and-baby room and the launderette. A modern shower and toilet block includes facilities for disabled guests.

Daniel Y.

The Paddocks FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely quiet site, nicely set out. Good onsite pub and children's play park.
Toilets very nice. All fully serviced pitches.
Visiting ice cream van.

Disliked Fully serviced point slightly awkward, in my instance the waste was having to run uphill which didn't work well for draining the water in the caravan sinks.
Quite allot of wasps at the play area

The site itself was lovely, as were the staff.

Nick S.

The Paddocks FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Very clean site, toilet block clean, good play area, nice staff.

Disliked Cash deposit for key fob (not in site description)
Bar and food closed Mon/tue (not in site description)
We booked this site specifically because it had a bar and grill on site, so we could have a drink or 2 and not drive.
Only when we got there (after paying) did we discover the bar and food was closed, and there was nowhere within walking distance or any taxis in the area, no local takeaways to deliver and the nearest pub food was ….. not great. You also can’t get your cash deposit for the key fob back before opening time in the morning if you planned on leaving early. Overall the site was very nice, we wouldn’t have booked if we knew the facilities would be closed though.

The Paddocks FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Site was immaculate all facilities where very clean and good working order. Showers were where good! Restaurant/bar was good with good menu reasonably priced

Disliked Dogs not allowed in bar/ restaurant except in beer garden I think a section should be made available as most of the caravans/ motorhome had dogs with them

The Paddocks FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The site was exceptionally clean & tidy, the shower blocks too. Liked the key fob, never had that before on sites, made you feel extra secure & safe throughout our stay, plus you got your money back at the end of our break which was a nice touch.
Our pitch was great, having a fully serviced pitch made all the difference. Very quiet & best nights sleep!
Having a restaurant on site was a bonus compared to other sites we’ve stayed at & the food amazing & good value.
All staff we met were extremely friendly & helpful.

Disliked The only negatives, the site is in the middle of nowhere & having a local bus route would be great…….but we knew this before we came & used the site as a close base to Morpeth where family were.
Would be nice to have free WiFi like other sites.

Richard A.

The Paddocks FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely camp site. More set up for residential caravans. Great pub/grill on site but the regulars have thier seats. Toilet block is very clean and well set out.

Disliked Having to pay a £20 deposit for a fob for entry/exit and toilet block, then having to wait until 9am for reception to open in the morning to get the deposit back. No early start for us. Needs a better system and inform people about this.

Local attractions

Among the highlights at Northumberland National Park are the Drake Stone, a massive sandstone boulder; and Thompson’s Rock, also known as the Solstice Stone due to a hole that runs through it and that aligns with the midsummer sunset. The Simonside Hills are a top place for a hike, and you might spot deer and red squirrels. On a headland overlooking the North Sea, Dunstanburgh Castle (half an hour) now stands in ruins, but it must have been quite the forbidding stronghold in its 14th-century heyday. After checking out its ruined towers, walk into the fishing village of Craster to sample the local delicacy: smoked kippers. Step into the past at Beamish, the Living Museum of the North (45 minutes). This open-air museum recreates a range of settings typical of North-East England, such as a pit village at the turn of the 20th century, a 1940s farm complete with Land Girls, and a 1950s town.
