RecommendedDark-sky farm campsite with glamping pods, wigwams and a lodge

Herding Hill Farm

Haltwhistle, Northumberland

A friendly, well-run farm site a stone's throw from the best stretch of Hadrian's Wall. Children love the wigwams and the night sky; parents love the hot-tub pods and spotless facilities. It's a cheaper alternative to the big hotels, perfect for a Roman-forts-and-stars weekend.

Days out nearby

  • Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

    England's biggest forest and lake, with adventure play, family bike trails, red squirrels and some of the darkest skies in the country. Kielder Castle is a handy base with a café and visitor centre.

  • Castle / historic · ideal day trip

    An open-air museum where trams and buses carry families between a 1900s town, a pit village, a farm and 1950s streets. Children can visit an old schoolroom, buy sweets the old way and see steam engines working.

  • Alnwick Castle ↗

    ~51 miles · ~1 hr

    Castle / historic · ideal day trip

    A lived-in castle children may recognise from the films, where they can take broomstick training on the lawn, dress up and try medieval crafts in Knights' Quest. Pairs perfectly with the gardens next door.

  • The Alnwick Garden ↗

    ~52 miles · ~1 hr

    Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

    A spectacular cascading water garden children can splash beside, a deliciously creepy Poison Garden tour for older kids and one of the world's largest treehouses for lunch among the branches.
