GETAWAY TRAVEL GETAWAY
FROM SOUTH WALES, it seems a long way to the Northumberland coast. It is a seven-hour drive, so we set off early and broke the trip with plenty of stops.
Our interest in the region was originally sparked by watching the TV series Vikings, which is set there, and, of course, long-running ITV crime drama Vera. We had been planning to visit since before the pandemic and at last, we had time for the trip.
Although we had planned a two-week visit, we had to change those plans and settle for one week instead. It proved to be a very memorable week!
We travelled to Proctors Stead Caravan Park, near Craster, and booked in for five nights. This is a quiet, well-run campsite, with great staff and a reception well-stocked with essentials.
