Details checked 7 August 2026 · source: Google Places A campsite near Morpeth ## About The Railway Inn Plotting a stopover close to the A1, or perhaps in need of a nice rural spot to stay for a longer break spent exploring Northumberland's countryside and coast? Either way, the pitches at the Railway Inn, on the edge of the village of Acklington, make a good pick – they're spacious and set in two acres of tree-filled grounds for a pleasant and peaceful place to stay. You'll find a mix of grass and hardstanding pitches with electric hookups, plus wifi and a bathroom block, though the shower and toilet facilities can feel a little neglected at times. The huge bonus, of course, is staying in the grounds of a lovely traditional pub – a restored building whose roots date back to the early 19th century. Open Wednesday to Sunday from noon, it serves up delicious homemade food (the fish and chips and Sunday roasts are particular hits) alongside local ales, all at reasonable prices. Dogs and kids are welcome too. The coast is about 10 minutes' drive away, with Alnwick, Bamburgh and Warkworth all within easy reach – perfect for either a quick stopover or a longer Northumberland adventure. ## What's nearby - Acklington Train Station - Managed by Northern Trains 200m away - North East Livestock Sales 250m away Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Good to know ### Parking - ✓Free car park - ✓Free street ### Accessibility - ✓Accessible parking - ✓Accessible entrance - ✓Accessible toilet ### Payment - ✓Credit cards - ✓Debit cards - ✓Contactless Details via Google — worth confirming with the site before you travel, especially for access needs. ## Photos Photos via Google Diners like this pub's delicious, homemade food, with many highlighting the fish and chips, Sunday roast, and inventive specials.

Not the cleanest site, with dated facilities, such as outside (uncovered and totally exposed) potwash, 80's shower/toilet portakabin. The pub has limited opening days and I guess corresponding this limited the facility cleaning days, certainly wasn't cleaned for 2 days in my experience (same black undies, as seen in the photo, on the floor as an example) Claimed as dog friendly, but no walking on site and suggested exercise area meant a very dangerous (especially the railway bridge bit with foot wide pavement) walk first!! Depending on your pitch, you could be close to the main England/Scotland train link (high speed trains) and of course the local ones that stop next to the site, or the road. Alternatively you could get lucky, we got the railway bit and when I asked to move, got short shift, but you could get lucky. In her defence, she had a very busy bank holiday weekend and the day aftet, when she wanted to chill a customer wanted to move to a vacant pitch... Whilst at busy times you could be asked to share pitches and electrics as the pub maximised occupancy, you will be offered/provided with electric splitters, if you understand this limitation then its OK I guess. Overnight stop, adequate, weekly stop wouldn't be my recommendation and with lots of alternative options, especially price to offering, this will be my last stop here. Final comment... we left early... moving on to our next stop a day early, but later than we should have.. a month ago · via Google paul towers ★★★★★ Just had 3 brilliant night's at the railway inn first time we have been there.
