  • Scenic pop-up site on a farm a mile from Middleton-In-Teesdale
  • Barnard Castle and High Force waterfalls within 15 minutes' drive
  • On the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Orchard Farm is a pop-up site on a working farm in the fab Co. Durham countryside, just on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and about half a mile from the banks of the River Tees. There’s splendid scenery all around this site – and you’ll be sharing the place with friendly neighbours in the form of the resident cows, horses and sheep. It’s a thoroughly rural experience but one doesn’t involve miles of driving along winding lanes: it’s easily accessed from the B6282. And that handy location also means it’s easy to get out to see some of the area’s top sights, including the High Force and Low Force waterfalls and Gibson’s Cave. For all your essential supplies (perhaps for a barbecue, which you’re welcome to bring along), it’s a journey of less than a mile to the butcher and small supermarket in Middleton-In-Teesdale. There are also takeaways, cafés and a pub in town if you’d rather someone else took care of the food and drink. Bigger Barnard Castle, 15 minutes’ drive away, has more in the way of shops and eateries too.
