Truly a wilderness that is here for you to explore, whether that is hiking across the moors, enjoying the babbling becks or any of the visitor attractions in the area. Or alternatively, simply rest and enjoy the quiet of the area. We have also held our prices at last year’s level.

There is a little something for everybody who stays at Carrshield Camping Barn. From the vast open spaces where you can wander all day and hardly see anybody, to the waterfalls and hidden valleys that bisect the landscape. Spring has arrived and the area is again teeming with life from Curlews, Golden Plovers, Twite, and Short-Eared Owls on the moors with Grey and Yellow Wagtails, Dippers, and Wheatears in the valleys. The wildflowers will soon be blooming again giving a splash of colour on the fells and in the dales.
Alongside the natural beauty there are museums, Roman and industrial, to visit, craft shops and tea rooms to enjoy and of course Hadrian’s Wall is not far away either. Due to the lack of crowds, it is also a wonderful location in which to find peace and seclusion to re-charge yourself.
Our website has details of some of the many things you can do when you book your break with us.

After the wintery months of cold, snow, rain and wind the warmer climes of Spring are now on their way. The wild birds are already returning to seek out their nesting places in which to raise this year’s young. The voles, field mice and even frogs are awaking and returning to the moorland and waterways. The sound of Curlew and Golden Plover mixed with Lapwing and Sky Lark fills the sky above the moors. The valleys with their babbling becks now carry the sound of Wagtails, Dippers and Oyster Catchers.

Time to dust the outdoor clothing off, prepare the walking boots and head to the North Pennines NL where adventure awaits around every corner. It may well be the last wilderness in England, but it teems with wildlife and there are plenty of museums, old railways, craft shops and cafes to explore in the many dales that make up the area.
We have a series of walks that go from the door and lead you around the area, our friends at The Hemmel in nearby Allenheads have similar walks that explore the head of the East Allen Valley. For the more intrepid there is always the long-distant Isaac’s Tea Trail that circles the area.
