Hi I have not stayed at Crimdon Dene......Yet. But after hearing about all the improvements we had a look around the site one day last year, and we were impressed. There is a newly built club house (providing kids entertainment) and restaruant with lots for the kids to do, also an indoor pool. The outdoor kids play area wasn't too good, basically just a climbing frame, but the beach is ok. as for the surrounding area, it depends on what you want, obviously Hartlepool Marina is only a 5 minute drive away, with the Historic Quay, Cinema, Restaurants Pubs and Retail Park. Then there is also Seaton Carew with the beach and amusements. If you wanted to go further afield there is Beamish, Diggerland & Metrocentre not too far away.

HTH

The site is right on a nice stretch of beach, and I'm sure there are walks nearby like Castle Eden and Elwick.  Where the site is situated it's not really a built up area but saying that I'm not sure if you can call it counrtyside either. Sorry if thats not much help to you but personally I dont really look for that type of thing myself (as I am unable to walk far) Hopefully someone else will be along soon who is a bit more helpfull

Hi all, i think its nice that people have happy memories of a place.

During the years 1978 and 1980 my parents worked on the fairground at Crimdon.  We met lots of lovely people from the area, though sadly lost touch with them now.

We loved Sundays with the jazz bands and the train and all the people.  There was a pavilion there that sold food. 

Where were the tin huts at Dawn?
