  • 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

A tranquil spot with neat grass pitches (EHU avail) & great views. Friendly, helpful owners make you feel right at home. Basic ablutions (portaloo noted), but the quiet scenery & value are big wins. Loads want to come back!

Donna P.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great wide access to site,
Jo & Richard are lovely and the site is so relaxed and well.kept.
Beautiful views, peaceful and great location.
You are able to pick your own pitch and decide which direction you want to set up.
Water points are very close to most pitches.
We were booked for 3 nights and was very happy with our 1st visit.
We are only 70 miles away so this will be an ideal site when we want a short break away.

Disliked This is the only small issue for this 99% perfect site.
As others have mentioned - the toilet emptying point could benefit from improvement.
My husband found it quite overpowering (and he is a plumber who works with drains as part of his job)
An underground system with ground level emptying would be a huge benefit and would take this lovely site from 99% perfect to 101%

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Quiet and rural. Very peaceful. Liked that the field was fenced in so the dog could be off (only two other campers who didn’t mind) and the children could safely run around.

Stuart L.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Incredible views on this very peaceful and spacious site. Hosts could not be more helpful and were keen to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
This is a basic site with ample water points close to the pitches.
There was a single portaloo which was always immaculate and the chemical waste was different to anything I’ve seen before but functional. Normally I’d put this in the dislike but it’s made clear before booking what to expect and they were both clean and better than I expected so nothing to be critical of.
We have showering facilities within our van so not an issue for us.
Loved being close to the farm and being woken by the cows 😄

Disliked I genuinely cannot think of anything I disliked about this site or the hosts.
Due to the lack of facilities it will not be for everyone but the pitch size and views far outweigh any missing toilet/shower block.

Relaxed stay with owners who couldn't do anymore to help!

Catherine L.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved this site, we stayed in a tent with no hook up and my dad stayed in his caravan with a hook up, we contacted the site to ask if we could pitch next to each other and they replied quickly and said that they could accommodate us.

Jo greeted us on arrival and Richard was always around the farm if needed. Really lovely people.

The views surrounding the site are absolutely beautiful!

Dog friendly site which is a bonus for us having two dogs.

Toilet was ALWAYS kept clean during our three night stay. We booked knowing there was no shower which was fine as we used our caravans. Free WiFi was a bonus too.

Great location looking over Market Harborough and surrounding villages, we will definitely be back to visit this hidden gem!

Thank you Jo and Richard.

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.
