Kielder Castle car park now allowing overnight stops @£10 per night

[Deleted member 79335]

I was about to stay there on Wednesday until I saw that because I arrived at 7ish I had to pay a £5 parking charge and then another £15 for the pleasure of staying overnight from 9pm until 9am with no services on what was basically a car park. I left along with 1 other MH while there were 2 others parked up, possibly for the night.

It's a very large parking area with lots of woodland walks and a walk down the steep hill to Toilets and the pub whose car park was heaving with motorhomes as they allow you to stay for free if you eat and drink in there, possibly ehu as well. Maybe if you were very tired or enjoyed the mountain bike trials, which there are a lot of, as well as a cycle shop and wash it's a good stop off.

Bearing in mind we had just overnighted nearby on a quiet site at Charlton (and another at Bellingham) with lots of walks on site, water and ehu, a pub, a restaurant, toilets and showers for £21.

Just up the road a few hundred yards on the way to the observatory and about ten minutes to the pub. It is on the POI map.
