Hi all, after an absence of 4 years or so we are going out in our van
The last time I was up at Druridge Bay you could pay £5 to stop the night is that still the case ?
Hope someone can help, on our way to Scotland for the NC500

Thank you
 
I'm afraid not. A couple of locals got that stopped by kicking up a fuss. There are very few coastal places to overnight now in Northumberland. Check the wildcamping app as it should be up to date and current.
 
I used to live in Ellington and you could see the sea at Druridge Bay from our upstairs back windows. It was around a mile flat walk there and the beach was amazing and empty even on a hot summers day...and the dog loved it. It was over 20 years ago so I cant help with anywhere to stay but thanks for reminding me of it

Yes you can. See Northumberland CC Website: I have copied and pasted the main text. I do not know the charge.

Have they clamped down on wilding this year, then? Seems every few years they make a go of it but then don’t bother for a while.
(We usually spend the odd night near Walkworth golf course & on the beach road at Druridge.)
