Pitching a tent at low hedgeley campsite

Northumberland wild camping site with views of the Cheviot Hills
Linhope Spout Waterfall 20 minutes’ drive; Bamburgh Castle 35 minutes
Dogs welcome; dark skies for stargazing; fishing pond nearby

Who says you can’t have it all? Whether you’re into seaside breaks, hiking excursions or fishing holidays, staying at Low Hedgeley puts you within a half-hour drive of all sorts of excellent ways to fill your days. This peaceful wild camping site, on a Northumberland farm that’s been in the same family since the late 18th century, sits just south of Wooler (10 minutes’ drive). Look around you: the diverse landscape includes heathlands, moors and woodland, not to mention the Cheviot Hills to the west. Incidentally, that’s a good area for a hike, with places like Hedgehope Hill (fairly challenging, rewarded with remarkable views from the top) and the Cheviot itself (actually an extinct volcano). The hills form the northern edges of Northumberland National Park, where there are more trails, dark skies for stargazing and Roman ruins, including Hadrian’s Wall, which runs along the southern border. If you prefer to walk against a dramatic coastal background, the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) delivers – and how, with the long-distance Northumberland Coast Path going past places like Dunstanburgh Castle, Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island Causeway. As for the fishing, at Branton Ponds (5 minutes or a 20-minute walk) you can combine angling with a spot of birdwatching. Facilities at the site are slightly on the spartan side (there’s a portable toilet, but no hot water). However, the views and the proximity to so many spectacular spots ought to redress the balance. Dogs are welcome; if you like animals, you can make friends with the resident cows and sheep, and perhaps get lucky spotting oystercatchers or otters on the banks of the River Breamish, which flows through the farm.

Elaine L. Sept 2024

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: A well run and maintained site, good location for hills and coast. Plenty of space between pitches and the grass is short so your feet don't get too wet in the morning or when it rains. The site is very popular with dog owners. There are some lovely on farm walks to enjoy by the lakes and the river, amongst the sheep and the Galloways. The two portaloos are kept clean. The fact that the site restricts the number of tents allowed is a big bonus as it means it doesn't get too busy or noisy and importantly retains that 'wild camping' element. It would be great if the on site shop had a short dedicated opening time, eg half an hour each morning or evening, currently you have to phone up if you want anything. Owners Harry and Daisy make you feel very welcome and visit frequently.

Disliked: The distant sound of barking and howling dogs (off site) for much of the night which was audible from our pitch was a little distracting when trying to get to sleep, but nothing that ear plugs couldn't resolve.

Liked: The campsite is located within beautiful scenery by a lovely host. Harry checked in with us a few times to make sure we were alright and if we had any questions. With only a 15 minute drive to Alnwick it’s allows a perfect combination of peace and quiet yet civilisation within reach.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Linhope Spout Waterfall (20 minutes’ drive), in Northumberland National Park, is a dramatic cascade plunging down moss-covered rocks into a pool. On your walk there (from Hartside Farm), you might see red squirrels, red grouse and curlews. Built in the Middle Ages, Bamburgh Castle (35 minutes) looms large over the vast sandy expanse of Bamburgh Beach. Check out the elegant wooden ceiling in the King’s Hall, admire the collection of armour and weaponry, then make your way to the Battery terrace for views across the water to the Farne Islands. The centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed (35 minutes) is completely surrounded by ramparts built in the Elizabethan age. After a walk along the top, visit the Barracks and Main Guard, home of the The King's Own Scottish Borderers museum and an art collection.
