  • 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 tranquil, roomy site boasts amazing country views and a friendly welcome from helpful owners. Guests love the quiet vibe, plenty of space for kids and pets, and its location near Market Harborough. Facilities are basic but clean, though the chemical disposal point could be better. Many want to return.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We had recently bought our campervan and needed somewhere local to set up for a night's stay, to check everything was working without hook up... we arrived and was met by Jo who was very friendly. We pitched up and was amazed what an all round fantastic view there was,so peaceful too, we took our 2 dogs and had a walk around. The overnight stay was just what we needed. There's also a disposal tank for chemical waste and an area for grey water.We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Liked Location was easy to find. Beautiful views and as it was out of season very quiet. Only a mile or so from Market Harborough.

Disliked Only down side was the shower and toilets were not open as it’s was out of season.

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.
