What's to see and do?

The site is located less than half a mile from the most dramatic stretch of Hadrian’s Wall between Newcastle and Carlisle and is ideally placed for visiting many of the Roman sites.

As well as being a World Heritage site, Hadrian’s Wall was opened in May 2003 as a National Trail Path between Wallsend on the east coast and Bowness-on Solway on the west coast.

There are walks in every direction making it the ideal place for those interested in wildlife, history and archaeology within breathtaking scenery.

The Penine Way and the new cycle trail and Penine Bridal Way are also on the doorstep!

The site is centrally placed for touring - the Lake District, Kielder Water, North Pennines and Gateshead Metro Centre are all less than a hour's drive away.

For the more sedentary visitor the Hadrian’s Wall bus enables you to visit the full length of this magnificent Heritage site in comfort (full details are available from the campsite).

The historic market towns of Haltwhistle and Hexham are also within easy distance from the site and the thriving shopping centres of Carlisle and Newcastle are an easy drive away.

In Summer Haltwhistle boasts a lovely outdoor swimming pool (kept at a luxurious warm temperature) with an adventure playground and cafeteria.
