If you are just looking for a rest Sandy Bay Holiday Park is the ideal location. Home from home just enjoy a slower pace of life.
However, Newbiggin by the sea offers a warm welcome and was one of the Mary Portius Pilot winners in 2012 - which means an investment of one hundred thousand pounds. It is only 2..2 miles from the Sandy Bay site - a beautiful walk or a quick trip by car. Amenities include, a sandy beach, a park to entertain the children and local shops and public houses.
Woodhorn Colliery is also only 2..4 miles from site and has different activities on throughout the year to amuse and delight adults and children. You will need to purchase tickets.
If you want to go further afield (22..4 miles from site) we highly recommend Alnwick Gardens - if you have children take their swim wear and towels as there are lots of water features to entertain them. It also has a tree house. Adults as well will find it a gorgeous location.
Alnwick castle is also a fantastic historical venue and it was the place where the filming of 'Harry Potter' took place. Open from 29 March 2013 - 28 October 2013. For these heritage sites you will also need to purchase tickets.
We really could go on and on. There is Amble, Seahouses, Walkworth - Northumberland has a beautiful coastline.
Shopping
There is a local shop and launderette on site and shops in Newbiggin by the sea.
However, Ashington town centre is only a short drive away and Blyth Town Centre is only 5.9 miles (12 minutes in car) where you will find a Morrison's and ASDA, along with banks, a sport's centre, food outlets, hair dressers, barbers, Argos etc. Similarly in Cramlington Town Centre (8.3 miles) or 17 minutes by car you will find a large shopping centre which have similar outlets including McDonalds and Next store.
