  • Quiet pop-up farm site on the edge of the Northumberland coast
  • Alnwick 10 minutes' drive; Seahouses a quarter of an hour away
  • Set on a working arable and sheep farm; dogs on leads welcome
Gallowmoor Farm is a small, friendly pop-up farm site in the scenic county of Northumberland, close to the edge of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is part of a working arable and sheep farm but located away from most of the agricultural activity, giving you a taste of rural life with plenty of peace and quiet. With a limited number of spacious pitches, guests here can look forward to a laidback camping experience. The pitches are separated by a tree on either side, for shade and extra privacy. Facilities are simple, but you'll have access to drinking water and basic portable toilets. Other amenities are within easy reach, though, as Gallowmoor Farm is about a mile and a half from Rennington's village pub and a 10-minute drive from the larger town of Alnwick, where supermarkets, shops and cafés are available. Gallowmoor Farm is about two miles from the A1, making it an excellent stopover for north-south road trips as well as a top pick for longer stays close to the varied attractions of the Northumberland coast. Well-behaved dogs are allowed, but out of consideration towards other guests and the livestock in neighbouring fields, please make sure that they are kept on a lead at all times.

Kerry A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The pitch sizes are amazing and the trees really gave a sense of privacy. The toilet was always well stocked and clean. It was so peaceful, I slept better than I do at home. We didn't have the weather, but we still had a fantastic time and would not hesitate returning for a weekend break. The fact there aren't any showers, can make it tricky but this is offset by a very peaceful place to camp, with a maximum of 13 pitches.

Disliked: Nothing

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: A great spot on a working farm. Very spacious plots and the whole farm us clearly very well managed and maintained. Lovely to wake up to nibbling sheep in the field opposite. Great views and very convenient location for coast and castles. The farm manager was incredibly supportive when we had a window blow out on our van (door caught in high winds!). He brought brilliant materials so we could sort it safely and relax. Much appreciated!

Disliked: Loved it all...thought the railway and road might be noisy but it was fine!

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: Lovely quit campsite with view on the fields and sheep. Really friendly owner. Our most beautiful campsite in England on our trip home. Large place for our camper. Lovely that it's close to Alnwick Castle.

Disliked: A bit confusing that when you enter Gallowmoor farm campsite in Google Maps that it shows you Doxford farm campsite. The owner fixed it by leaving us a message a day before arrival how to get to the right spot.
