Northumberland Glamping Breaks
Acres of open countryside, long sandy beaches and legendary castles… plus a cosy glamping spot to come home to every evening. Tempting? Then look no further than a Northumberland glamping break – bring the family, bring the dogs, or sneak away for a romantic break with a touch of luxury.
Or maybe you just fancy an outdoor break without pitching a tent? Whatever your motive, Pitchup has a host of lovely options for you, so read on to find the Northumberland glamping site that suits all your requirements.
Where you should stay in Northumberland
-
Northumberland is a hiking and cycling paradise, so look for a base in or near Northumberland National Park for easy access to moorland rambles. The bracing air and slightly fickle weather in these parts mean that it’s a clever idea to choose a glamping site with a hot shower for guaranteed warming-up back at base.
-
With spectacular Druridge Bay and miles of open moorland to exercise your dogs, Northumberland is pretty close to canine heaven too – if you want to take your pets on your outdoor break, simply search for dog-friendly glamping sites and tell them to start packing.
-
If kids are part of your holiday package, consider family-friendly Northumberland glamping sites near big-hitting attractions like Alnwick Castle for Harry Potter-themed adventures, or mixing things up a bit with a stay near Morpeth, with its zoo and indoor play parks for the odd rainy days.
-
Want nip off for a bit of peace and quiet away from the kids (your own or anyone else's)? Use our filters to search for adults-only Northumberland glamping sites – maybe something hidden away on a farm or within staggering distance of a gastropub? Or perhaps consider a stay near Hexham, with its selection of dining options for date nights.
-
To up the romance factor even further by picking a super-luxurious glamping site kitted out with a hot tub and woodburning stoves, or pick a dark-skies site in Kielder Forest and then cosy up around the campfire for a spot of stargazing.
What you can do in Northumberland
-
There’s plenty for cultural types to see and do in Northumberland, with enough ancient castles and abbeys to keep you busy for weeks. Medieval Bamburgh Castle is open for guided tours, and on Lindisfarne you can explore abbey ruins and a clifftop fortress.
-
Follow in the footsteps of ancient Romans with a bracing hike along Hadrian’s Wall Path for spectacular Northumberland views, and discover the ruins of centuries-old lavatories and gambling dens at Housesteads Roman Fort (just along the A69 from Corbridge).
-
Take a boat cruise out to the magical Farne Islands for some wildlife spotting. If you go in spring, you can expect thousands of seabirds, while comical puffins arrive in summer, and grey seal pups can be spotted in autumn.
-
How about a day in the big city? Head for Newcastle to taste street food at the weekend Hawker Market on the Gateshead Quayside, visit the Angel of the North or treat the kids to hands-on experiments in the Life Science Centre.
