Hedgeley Farms

The early morning mist rolls off the Cheviot Hills, carrying the earthy scent of farmland and wild grasses across this peaceful Northumberland site. Birdsong fills the air above open pitches where sheep graze the neighbouring fields, and on clear nights, the darkness reveals a spectacular canopy of stars unmarred by light pollution.

Hedgeley Farms welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its rural setting in the heart of Northumberland, a county famed for its dramatic coastline, ancient castles and vast swathes of protected dark skies. This is a place for walkers tackling the Cheviot range, history enthusiasts exploring borderland battlefields, and families seeking a genuine escape from urban life. The site works beautifully as a base for discovering both the wild interior and the Heritage Coast.

Facilities are straightforward with toilets and showers provided. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so enquire when you pitch up if you're hoping for an evening flame. The overall atmosphere is refreshingly uncommercial—proper countryside camping where the landscape does the talking and the pace naturally slows.
