Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: You can choose where you want to be and the fact you can turn up at anytime and leave at anytime is fantastic, so no rushing around in the morning packing up. The farmer whose field it is is so friendly and helpful, even took myself and grandchildren to see the bull, cows and calfs in his fields, it was amazing and a very special touch to our camping experience, his dog is a very clever animal and amazing to see the connection they have especially with his Land Rover ha ha, you have to see it to believe it. I would highly recommend this site. Excellent value for money.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The site had very friendly owners. They gave us the choice of pitching wherever we liked. With plenty of space to choose from. Located on top of the hill we had great views over all the surrounding fields. Clean portaloos on site also. Very nice pub 5 minute walk down the road with a great beer garden.

Local attractions

If you’d like to mix in some rather less wild outings with all the hikes and other outdoor activities, head to National Trust properties at Cherryburn (10 minutes’ drive) and the gorgeous Georgian estate at Gibside Hall (20 minutes). Beamish, the Living Museum of the North (half an hour) is another great spot for family outings, with the chance to immerse yourselves in the sights and sounds of an early 20th-century pit village, farm and other settings. Looking back a bit further into history, explore the area’s Roman past by starting in Corbridge (20 minutes) to see some of the artefacts found during excavations and then take a walk along the Hadrian’s Wall trail. One of the more intact sections of wall is at Vindolanda (40 minutes), which has award-winning museums as well as a functioning archaeological site to see. Other outings nearby might take you for days in Hexham (25 minutes) or Newcastle upon Tyne (half an hour), or over to the coast for a blast of sea air at Whitley Bay beach (45 minutes).
