Swap the noise and distractions of city living for rolling countryside views and peaceful camping; stay on a working farm at Hideaway at Hudegate Farm. This compact, back to basics campsite rests in the North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a short trot from the picturesque village of Middleton-in-Teesdale, which has shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The scenic surroundings brim with snaking walking and cycling routes, including the famed 268-mile Pennine Way, which meanders close to the campsite. One of the most followed paths from the campsite proceeds north via a 4-mile route, taking in the lovely High Force and Low Force waterfalls located a smooth 4-miles' away. Guests interested in fishing can enjoy their sport at the River Tees or Grassholme Reservoir, provided the appropriate fishing license is available. If you land a catch, make your way back to the base with spices and accompaniments for a sizzling barbeque. Other exciting attractions nearby include Eggleston Hall Gardens, Summerhill Force and Gibson's Cave, and Bowes Museum. There are several walking trails, play areas, and mountain biking routes in the Hamsterley Forest, located 12-miles away. Amenities are limited to a toilet block, and pets are most welcome throughout the year.
