West Barnley Campsite

Simple pop-up site across two acres of a Co.Durham working farm
On the edge of North Pennines Area of Outstanding Beauty; dogs welcome
In the village of Eggleston with easy access from the B6282

Bedding down on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Beauty is a fine idea if you’re in the market for some scenic walks – and that’s exactly the location you’ll get at West Barnley Campsite. This pop-up site is part of a Co.Durham working farm on the outskirts of the village of Eggleston, a few minutes’ walk from the boundary of the AONB. Lots of fabulous landscapes are within easy reach here, including waterfalls and forest trails, with places like the Bowes Museum and Raby Castle close by too. This is a simple site but a well-kept one, with showers and portable toilets provided and plenty of space in the two-acre field. There are lovely views all around the field, which is edged by a little stream. It’s a rural location indeed (think Shetland ponies on site and cows and sheep in the neighbouring fields) but one that doesn’t involve lots of driving along winding lanes – in fact, it’s easily accessed from the B6282 at the bottom of Folly Top. Campfires and barbecues are welcome on site, so you may well want to bring some supplies along – there’s a butcher and small supermarket in Middleton in Teesdale, plus several shops and a bigger supermarket in Barnard Castle (both 10 minutes’ drive). For treats that you don’t have to cook, Eggleston has a village pub and there’s a café 10 minutes’ walk away at Eggleston Hall. If you don’t mind a slightly longer trip, the farm shop and tea room at Mainsgill Farm (25 minutes) are well worth the effort.
