Set in the heart of the beautiful County Durham countryside within a meander of the river Wear, this adult only, award winning touring park is the perfect way to get away from it all!
The park is perfectly positioned to explore all that this beautiful county has to offer, is within easy reach of the historic city of Durham and all of its amenities yet its setting beside the ruins of a Benedictine priory offer peace and tranquillity.
Many of our clients return often as we are an ideal location for easy access to Durhams highlights being only just over 4 miles by road and bridal path for bikes or walking just over 2 / 3 miles to the beautiful cathedral city of Durham.
At Finchale Abbey`s adult only touring park all pitches have stunning views across the park and out over the Abbey ruins backed by woodland and the river Wear. The site is naturally and gently sloping; however, our site layout keeps the pitches level although chocks may be needed on occasion.
There are both hard-standing and grass pitches, all of which have access to an electric hook-up (10-16 amp). You are welcome to have a gazebo or awning, but please ensure that groundsheets used inside awnings are breathable for the longevity of the grass and the benefit of all visitors.
You`re never too far from the toilets along with our dog walking area by our fruit orchard.
The touring park has an excellent toilet block which was recently refurbished to include fully accessible disabled facilities. The toilet block offers free hot showers, wcs and washing up facilities. Razor sockets are provided if required, and hairdryers and hand dryers are available within the block. There is also a disposal point on site for chemical toilet waste.
