  • 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.

What customers say

Gallowmoor Farm Camping offers a peaceful, simple camping experience in a beautiful rural setting. Pitches are generously sized and offer privacy, often bordered by trees. The location is praised for its convenience for exploring the Northumberland coast and nearby castles. Facilities are basic, primarily consisting of clean portaloos and water taps, which some visitors note is reflected in the price. While occasional noise from trains and farm vehicles is mentioned, most guests found the atmosphere quiet and relaxing. The friendly and helpful owners are frequently highlighted.

Niamh O.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the location in the middle of beautiful farmland and countryside, with easy access to the coastal villages/beaches and Alnwick. The pitch sizes were really spacious and toilets kept very clean. Abbie was really helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The local village had a lovely pub too.
