  • 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.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Facilities were spotless, great sized pitches and close to explore hexham and surrounding areas

Disliked: The only minor thing was that there was no kids play area which we knew but there was no balls/ Frisbees etc allowed on site either

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Sorry we don't allow ball games / Frisbee's as our touring area is not big enough to allow games .Also this is due to complaints of footballs hitting cars & caravans & causing damage.

Great site with clean facilities and pitches and the staff were lovely

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Was very peaceful and quiet, the pitches were well looked after and was no mess or litter anywhere. It was clearly a well looked after place. The staff were lovely they even moved us to a more suitable pitch when we first arrived as the other one was wet.

Disliked: We struggled to find a big bin to put our rubbish in when we left.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Our recycling bin area is next to our Reception as you enter/exit the site. This is explained on our site information sheet which is attached to the site map given at check in.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Toilets and facilities were spotless. Nice site in a good location.

Disliked: When I got there within the notified time before 7:30 pm no one on site and luckily there was someone who came out to let me in. Otherwise I’ve been sleeping in the car park. Not the sites fault, but there was no contact information anywhere on the site office in the and it shuts at 5 pm.

From the manager: Thank you for your Review . We live onsite next & if we aren't around we have relief wardens who are down onsite Sorry for the mix up with your booking .

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.
