Camping in Northumberland: what to know
Northumberland is England’s emptiest county and one of its most rewarding for campers. The coast is an unbroken sweep of castles and dunes — Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Alnwick and Holy Island — with campsites tucked behind the beaches. Inland, Hadrian’s Wall runs along the crags near Once Brewed, and the Cheviots offer genuinely lonely hill walking.
Kielder Water & Forest Park holds Gold Tier Dark Sky status, the largest such area in Europe. Camping here in autumn, with the observatory nearby, is a stargazing experience few places can match.
