Tent camping on grass pitches near Alnwick in Northumberland with minimal facilities, campfires, and a remote setting popular with walkers and cyclists.

## About Heckley Farm Camping

Heckley Farm Camping offers a stripped-back, peaceful retreat on the edge of Alnwick, perfect for walkers and wild-camping enthusiasts who value spectacular Northumberland scenery over creature comforts. With just 11–25 non-electric grass pitches, campfires crackling under the stars, and a truly remote feel, it's a wildlife haven that attracts everyone from Duke of Edinburgh groups to budget backpackers and touring motorcyclists. Facilities are minimal—portable toilets and no hot water—so this isn't one for glampers, but if you're after an authentic, low-key base for cycling, fishing, or exploring Alnwick's famous castle and coast, it fits the bill. Nearby amenities (pub, shop, cycle hire) are within reach, and with pitches from around £25 a night, it's solid value for those happy to rough it a little in a genuinely stunning setting.

Del Williamson ★★★★★

The cottage was lovely, and the setting was very peaceful. With lots of wildlife in the surrounding fields, the owners were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The area's beaches, town's villages and castles are beautiful and amazing.
