  • Rural farm site with views over the Welland Valley
  • Market Harborough 10 minutes' drive; Rutland Water 40 minutes
  • Explore 100 acres of farmland; direct links to footpaths
A warm rural welcome is assured at this working farm in Leicestershire, where you can explore 100 acres of farmland and enjoy sweeping views over the gorgeous Welland Valley. Wheathill Field is in a convenient location just under 10 minutes' drive from the popular town of Market Harborough and its many amenities, while many other attractions and activities within similarly easy reach. Handily, its level and very well-maintained camping pitches have super easy access for wider vehicles – and dogs are welcome too. Once you've settled in, you can amble around the whole farm at your leisure; more serious walkers can take the footpaths accessible straight from site, including the historic Jurassic Way, for hikes further afield. Interestingly enough, this site includes an area of rare grasses on steep banks formed during the last Ice Age – take a five-minute walk from the pitches if you fancy seeing them for yourself. Market Harborough is very handy to have so close by too, with great independent shops and restaurants plus a spacious park with a kids' play area and a fenced dog exercise area. A large sports centre with a pool, gym and tennis courts is also open to visitors.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, spacious site with stunning countryside views, ideal for short breaks. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owners, Jo and Richard, and the quiet, rural location. While facilities are basic, including a well-maintained portaloo, they are generally found to be clean and functional. The site is dog-friendly and offers ample space for children. Issues with wind exposure and portaloo emptying have been noted, but the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.

Liked Lovely welcome from Jo, great views, lots of walks in the East Farndon area, we walked down to Farndon Fields Farm shop for a meal and back. Was nice to be snug in the tent porch sheltering from the wind on a quiet site reading.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Peaceful, great view, not overcrowded and good mobile signal. Everything I wanted for a short weekend away. Plenty of cows to watch, and a huge herd of extremely friendly and well trained dogs. The portaloo might put some people off booking, but I've honestly never seen one so well looked after and clean.

It's on a hill so quite exposed to wind, but the field itself was flat and plenty of space to not be next to other campers.

I will definitely return when I need some more peace and quiet without travelling too far from home.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked excellent, quiet site for a quick getaway. Polite owner. Spotless toilet. Went to the toilet late at night reminding myself to take some toilet roll in the morning as it was running low and in the morning it'd already been stocked up! Will definitely stay again.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked The clear instructions given prior to arrival. The choice of where to park. Really tidy area with chemical toilet waste. Didn’t use the portaloo as we’re self sufficient. Lovely to meet Jo in the morning asking if everything was okay

Disliked Wasn’t clear where to find the password for wifi - but then we weren’t there to be online - enjoyed not being on internet

Local attractions

The Battle of Naseby of 1645 took place locally – in fact, Wheathill Farm sits on a part of that history, as the Royalists came over these fields during their retreat. The surrounding area has a lot of historic sites worth seeing too, with highlights including stately homes and gardens like Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens (five minutes' drive), Rockingham Castle (20 minutes) and the Althorp Estate (30 minutes). Walks or cycle rides along the Grand Union Canal are also on the cards, as the site is about a quarter of an hour from the staircase locks at Foxton; a canal museum is also located here if you want to learn more. For more time by the water, you could drive out to Pitsford Water (20 minutes) for a fishing trip, or pack up a picnic and set out for Rutland Water (40 minutes), where watersports like canoeing and kayaking are possible as well as birdwatching and walking. Got kids to keep entertained? Take them along to the National Space Centre (45 minutes) in central Leicester, to the rides at Drayton Manor Theme Park (an hour) or to Twycross Zoo (an hour) to see the animals.
