  • 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.

May E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Excellent shower and toilet facilities. Lovely rural location. I was very apprehensive on arrival as it was a much larger site than I expected as it’s located in the centre of a larger site with static caravans. BUT I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was quiet, there was plenty of space between pitches and we had a lovely few night here

Disliked: Other than my expectations of a small site there’s nothing I could fault.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very quiet and peaceful site with small areas of a few pitches so it feels quite private for the size of the site. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. Dog walks straight from the site and plenty of dog bins around. Short drive to Hadrian's wall and many fort sites. We arrived outside reception opening hours but our welcome info was left where it was easily found and our pitch was located easily with the map provided.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Showers, toilets, vanity area absolutely spotless. Kept in tip top condition smell amazing. Best ever

Disliked: No staff around. Reception constantly closed, didn’t see any site staff in the whole week. The hard surface was a thin layer of stone on top of soil and uneven.

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.
