- Luxury glamping pods on a farm with amazing Durham Dales views
- A half-hour’s drive to Durham, and 35 minutes to High Force Waterfall
- Well-equipped, repurposed railway wagons, with woodland walks on site
How about a camping break with spectacular Durham Dales views? High Farm Holiday Park might well be the spot for you, a scenic, family- and dog-friendly glamping site utilising repurposed railway wagons – each one found around the local area and completely refurbished into cute and cosy pods decked out with stylish wooden interiors.
Set in the County Durham countryside on a family-run farm, the site also features developing woodland and wetlands with loads of amazing wildlife, and plenty of mown walkways for you to explore your surroundings. An on-site café, shop and board game library are also all available for your use.
Each railway wagon has ensuite facilities, including a shower, loo and wash basin, and they are kitted out with a double bed, smart TV, table and chairs, plus a kitchenette area with fridge, oven and everything you need to cook up a feast. Best of all, they come with a spacious, private decking area where you can kick back and admire your gorgeous surroundings.
Open all year, the site is close to the market town of Bishop Auckland (10 minutes’ drive), with its wide range of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the woodland walks and art trails in Hamsterley Forest (half an hour).
