  • Well-maintained rural site in a mature woodland two miles from Hexham
  • A mile from Hadrian's Wall and close to Kielder Forest Park
  • Launderette and modern bathrooms on site
With Hexham two miles to the south and Hadrian’s Wall a mile to the north, there’s a whole lot of history in the area around Fallowfield Dene Caravan and Camping Park – and you’ll see that reflected in the fact that the various pitching areas on site have all been given suitable Roman names. This well-kept rural site is surrounded by mature woodlands, and native trees such as mountain ash and silver birch have been cleverly used around the pitches to provide landscaping, views, shelter and privacy. Naturally, that also makes the park a popular spot with local wildlife – you may well spot a fox, a badger or a red squirrel as you wander about, and may hear the distinct tapping of a woodpecker. Fallowfield Dene makes a great base from which to explore the area’s past, but the site itself is thoroughly modern, with high-spec bathroom blocks and a launderette. Large pitches have plenty of space to spread out, and they’re easy to access via well-kept park roads. How to fill your days here? Well, of course it’s a great idea to explore as many of the area’s Roman sites as possible, but there are also lots of activities like golf, fishing, walks in the North Pennines and watersports at Kielder Water. It’s also not far to get to Newcastle upon Tyne or the east coast. Please note that while children are welcome here, there isn't a play area and ball games are not allowed as space is limited. While barbecues are allowed, they must not be disposable. A maximum of two dogs are permitted per booking.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained woodland campsite with excellent, modern facilities, particularly the shower and toilet blocks. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. The site offers good access to the countryside and Hadrian's Wall. Some guests noted issues with the water tap flow, pitch levelling on hardstanding, and a lack of children's play facilities. Limited shop supplies and bin locations were also mentioned.

We are not allowed to ask if anyone is disabled & we don't just give the code out as then everyone would use the disabled wash room, we have seen in this happen in the past. Your stay was for 3 nights if you needed to use the disabled washroom you could have rang reception or popped in on your way past.& we would have given you the number.
Thank you for your your review.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice big pitch, electric point right behind the pitch, water point not too far neither. toilet block looked it had been refurbished recently, gents toilets was not kept the cleanest, shower pressure was low, sinks was small and had to keep your hand on the tap to operate and no plug, so having a shave was difficult. site is large with many long stayers and a one way system. Nice out of the way nook, not too far from local shops of Hexham

Disliked key pad on toilet doors, So many cctv cameras operating 24/7 which I cannot understand why!

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked It is a very large caravan site but most are not in use at the same time, The pitch for visiting campervans was spacious, and because it was April, mine was the only van.
The whole site is very peaceful, the showers and toiletsare very modern, and scrupulously clean. As with most other sites the welcome was very friendly.
It is close to Heham for shopping and sightseeing, and is ideal for Hadrian;s Wall and the Roman settlements all around.
An added bonus is that wi-fi is free over the site.

Liked Spacious site with plenty of room for Awning if needed. Great walks off site and a nice 20 mins walk through fields to Acomb. Facility great clean and very tidy. Small cafe area in reception (Cash Only)staff super friendly and helpful.

Disliked Nothing to dislike though I’m guessing the single lane access will may be upsetting to some drivers, but plenty of passing points

Local attractions

If the site’s Roman theme has inspired you to get out and see some of the original locations, head first to the nearest section of Hadrian’s Wall, a mile away. A little further away, drop into Corbridge Roman Town (10 minutes’ drive), the Temple of Mithras (15 minutes) and Housesteads Roman Fort (20 minutes). Hexham (10 minutes) is a historic place too, but with attractions from a different era like the abbey and Hexham Old Gaol as well as more Roman bits and pieces. For a more contemporary urban day out, make tracks to Newcastle upon Tyne (half an hour) for the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, the Discovery Museum and a whole lot of places to eat, shop and catch cultural events. Truly rural outings are easy to find too – just head a couple of miles south to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or north to Kielder Forest Park. Kielder Water (45 minutes) has various watersports to try out, plus a bird of prey park.
