Belhaven Bay Caravan Park

This well managed campsite provided everything that we needed for a break while motorhoming and cycling back from a tour of the Highlands. The photographs show something of the excellence of the modern and fully-equipped services: dish washing, laundry, toilets and showers, as well as a kitchen with a microwave and toaster! For more relaxation there is also a small library! The site has a link to the Sea Wall Cycleway and Footpath, giving easy access into Dunbar with its various shops and cafes. Or you can continue cycling south down the coast, as we did, enjoying a 25-mile return ride, almost all on a purpose-built path following NCR (National Cycle Route) 76, past the Torness Nuclear Power Station, turning back at the village of Cockburnspath. Here the Community Shop had picnic tables outside, which we soon loaded with sandwiches, cakes and coffee, all made by the community and totalling less than £10. A lucky find! Returning on the dedicated and well signed bike path to Dunbar, we explored its ancient harbour area, welcomed by a seal popping its head out of the water to greet us. With a long and checkered history, the fort above the harbour withstood all attempts at its capture. But time and tide have slowly caused its collapse, the red stone tower and its walls appearing to be vitrified and providing roosts for sea birds. The haunting atmosphere is enhanced by the thought that Mary Queen of Scots might once have been held prisoner here!

The campsite is lovely. Clean with immaculate showers and toilets. We travelled in a motorhome and the pitches were very specious with plenty of grass at the side.|Dunbar is a 30 minute walk along the coastal path. Alternatively you can …
