Herding Hill Farm Camping & Glamping Site
About
Herding Hill Farm Camping & Glamping Site is a 5‑star, AA Platinum‑pennanted haven in the heart of Northumberland, just a mile from the iconic Hadrian’s Wall. Nestled on the tranquil Shield Hill, the site offers a blend of luxury glamping pods, cosy Wigwam cabins, and spacious touring pitches, all set against sweeping countryside and dark‑sky skies. Families enjoy a playground, a petting farm with alpacas, goats, rabbits and ker‑pis, while couples revel in the private hot tubs and fire‑pit roosts in the Castle Pods. The centre‑priced accommodation starts with affordable Wigwam cabins and scales up to a 3‑bedroom luxury lodge, making it suitable for any length of stay. The property is fully equipped with modern comforts: under‑floor heating, a sauna for private hire, an indoor kitchen, Wi‑Fi, a dedicated dog walk, and a dog wash. During the local summer months, the site opens a butter‑butter‑lovely neighbourhood mesh Stag‑lit nights – visitors can light a fire pit, lounge by the hot tub and enjoy stargazing in a world‑class dark‑sky location. As a member of the Visit England and AA 5‑star systems, the camp holds a reputation for outstanding facilities and warm, helpful staff. Guests comment on the cleanliness, the high quality of the amenities and the quiet, peaceful setting that provides a restful break from the hustle of city life.
