Just Perfect - Would Love to Stay Again

Clarks Hill Farm
This is one of the best sites we've stayed at. We like the small CL sites and this one is great. The field is big - giving each pitch lots of space - ideal for us with a couple of dogs. The owners leave you in peace to enjoy your visit, but when we needed them they replied quickly to our questions by phone & text. They were really helpful when we had to make a last minute change to our arrangements. The field has a mature hedge on one side and great views on the other across the countryside. There's a gentle slope but this is easy to manage with levelling blocks. There's a short walk from the top of the field to the back of the house where the shower and loo are (the door can catch so be firm with the handle). This is a really welcome bonus on a site charging just £20 per night. We were really pleased to have recycling available in the waste area. The site design is thoughtfull with the chemical disposal point is at the bottom of the slope (ie downhil). The water supply is in the middle keeping the walk to the pitches as short as possible. Access to the Roman Fort at Birdoswald is just a minutes by car. This and the Hadrian's Wall walk are just fantastic. We would love to come back for another visit.

Beauty and access

Clarks Hill Farm
This is a lovely, tranquil site, yet with good access to nearby sites of interest. We enjoy Roman sites particularly and this is very convenient for Hadrian's Wall, Birdoswald, Vindolanda and suchlike. It was busy lambing time, yet the owner made us feel welcome. Levelling blocks are helpful and we used them on the site. We will come again!

Won't visit again

Clarks Hill Farm
We chose this site to visit the nearby Hadrians Wall and Forts and for this purpose it is very convenient, with the nearby town of Brampton providing a small range of shops and an excellent food hall. However the site itself is very sloping and difficult to pitch a caravan on, the flatest area being well away from the hook ups. We paid at the box in the farmyard. We never found the showers and toilets - or rather found a labelled, but locked door. We stayed for 5 nights and during that time we had no contact at all with the owners. Even the man mowing the site didn't stop and have a quick word, which would have been nice.

A Tranquil Stay

Clarks Hill Farm
What a lovely peaceful Cl site this is. With vast views looking over lovely fields of sheep its a lovely place to come and relax. Plenty of room between each pitch and even has a shower block and toilet which we didn't use, but can leave the owners pitch fees in a post pox next to the toilet entrance if you don't see them. No road noise as its hardly used. We visited Talkin Tarn in Brampton which was a lovely lakeside walk and also went to Sycamore Gap . We would definitely visit this site again.

Campervan Visit August 2021

Clarks Hill Farm
Peaceful site on the Cumbria / Northumberland border ideal for visiting Hadrians Wall & Birdoswald Fort. Sloping grassy field with good toilet emptying point & rubbish bins at bottom of field and fresh water tap half way up field. Well maintained shower & WC at farm where you also leave payment. Overall well kept site although no contact with owners on our 2 night stay and minimal information regarding the use of the site including access to the footpath running by the farm. Don't miss visiting the farm shop for cheese - open Thursdays & Fridays.
