    Great views to stop and take photos but wouldn’t sleep here as within 5 minutes we had lots of cars racing past at 60mph. It’s on the main road into the village but perfect for a quick stop.

    Amazing view, few cars stopped for a few minutes each to take pictures of the view, but a very quiet spot, especially as we stayed on a Friday evening, road got busy around 9am-ish on Saturday morning but didn't really bother us other than that. Really lovely spot

    Tranquilo, con un poco de rudo pero la vista vale la pena.

    Superbe vue sur le château, nous étions 2 vans et un camping car et c’était très bien. Par contre pas plus d’une nuit car la route reste très passante et très bruyante tout au long de la nuit.

  • 4/5

    Très belle vue mais proche de la route très passante et pas du tout à plat

    Mooie plek, snacht rustig geen last gehad van auto’s. In de avond en ochtend hoor je de auto’s goed. Fantastisch uitzicht op het Alnwick Castle, we waren hier alleen en hebben heerlijk geslapen. Geen voorzieningen

    Der Ausblick ist wirklich klasse, aber die Straße ist extrem laut und zwar bis spät in den Abend und dann auch schon wieder sehr früh morgens. Wir würden das nächste mal einen anderen Ort für die Nacht suchen.

    We stayed for 1 night. Great views. No problems from locals. There were no facilities, but we were self-contained.

    Great little spot to park the night with and absolutely stunning view of the castle. Ground a little uneven with a camper but very manageable. Light traffic during the night, street sweepers were a great alarm clock at 7am :)

    Lay-by at the rear of Alnwick Castle. A little road noise but certainly bearable. Great view of the Castle to wake up to.

    Great little spot. Fast traffic until everything dies down & then very quiet. Amazing view. Only downside is some rubbish truck sat with his engine idling right by the side of my van on a Sat morning from 7am (it’s currently 8am and he’s still there). Terrible for the carbon pollution & what a waste of money as he’s clearly not doing any work. Poss doing it deliberately. Good 4G on Vodafone.

    Great stopover- stayed 2 nights - great view of castle. Although next to the road it was quiet after 22:00- second night a car with ‘ younger’ drivers pulled up but they were fine - left after an hour or so then another quiet night. Definitely recommend a stopover here . Harry Potter filmed at Alnwick castle but unfortunately it is closed until spring 2023. As usual left no trace ! Thanks Alnwick

    Great place to pull in. Layby just off the road. Lovely views of castle.

    Super spot, unrestricted parking/height. Close to a footpath passing the castle, great dogwalk. A bin - which needs use - left a lot tidier than when we arrived. Pindrop quiet on a Saturday night, we slept like logs, no TV signal so wasn't disturbed by England v France match either (!)

    I was starting to think there was nowhere left in Northumberland for campers to stay the night, for free, with a decent view. So I was delighted to find this! You can see the castle, the space is slightly set away from the road, and nobody bothered me. A new favourite.

    Für eine schöne Pause zu empfehlen!

    absolutely beautiful place to park up, the views of the castle are amazing. we stayed Tuesday night, a couple of cars pulled up with music put it wasn't overly loud and they had good taste in music. they symptoms very respectful to us to be honest. council meet up point in a morning, but again not noisy at all. Although the road is at the side of where your parked I slept undisturbed.. 10/10

    Stayed here for 1 night.. gorgeous spot.. BUT the boy racers.. they were there until around 2:30am.. although they weren’t overly loud the cars are loud so driving in and out until 2:30am was quite noisy.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, room for a few vans. Bit of a slope. We were all alone and managed to have a wonderful view. Few young drivers until about 9pm, but not a nuisance in any way.

  • 4/5

    We stayed here for just one night, we arrived and the lay-by was empty but it wasn’t long until the boy racers arrived, they didn’t cause us any issues and weren’t there late.

  • 3/5

    Arrived 8pm on Fri night, 2 cars there already there but quiet. Went to bed at 11pm just as the boy racer GP started which went on to 2:30am with shouting, laughing, engines revving etc Not going to chance it on Sat night ☹ However if you do get lucky, the view in the morning is glorious and also 100m from the The Pastures ParkRun if you are a runner.

    Great place to stay in for the night. Only half a mile from the town centre. Amazing free overnight stay.

  • 5/5

    Stunning views of the castle and it's a lovely little place to stop, enough space for about 4 motor homes. busy road on a morning but super quiet at night. will definitely stop again when I'm in the area

  • 4/5

    Nice spot with great views. As other people have said, used by local kids as a spot to meet in their loud cars until the evening, but afterwards very quiet.

  • 4/5

    Great view of the castle. some nice walking along the river next to the castle. beware of the bull. visited regularly during day but quiet at night. parking bays too small for a van so you have to park sideways.

  • 4/5

    Exactly as described. Beautiful spot with view of castle and fields. No bother. Quiet overnight with few passing cars but early eve and early morning noise.

  • 4/5

    Fantastic view of the castle and a nice safe location. A group of people with noisy cars arrived at about 10, but gone by 11. They were very respectful, only noise was a bit of chatter and the cars leaving.

  • 4/5

    Beautiful view. Noisy young men until it got dark, but then mostly quiet. Very close to the road which is quite fast, so some road noise.

  • 5/5

    Amazing place to stop. its Saturday night and a few kids with their cars... but they are no bother and gone by 8.30pm

    Thank you for sharing this place; what an amazing view.
