**Motorbike riders only by arrangement, groups preferred.** Welcome to Undercliff Farm: A Place of Peace, Simplicity, and Connection.... At Undercliff Farm, we invite you to embrace the quiet beauty of a truly special place. This is not a park or a luxury retreat; instead, it’s a private campground where nature's tranquillity reigns, offering an opportunity to step away from the fast pace of modern life and reconnect with the land. Here, we value simplicity over luxury, connection over convenience, and the soothing embrace of nature over material comforts. As you arrive at the farm, you’re not just stepping onto land — you’re entering a sanctuary. The sweeping landscapes, teaming with diverse wildlife and serene campgrounds, offer a peaceful haven where every moment spent here becomes a journey toward renewal. From the song of the birds to the quiet whispers of the wind, this is a space where you can truly unwind and reset. Respecting this place is at the heart of our philosophy. Whether you're hiking, camping, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, we ask that you do so with care, preserving the harmony of this environment for future generations. Please also be mindful of our biosecurity measures, including the restriction of outside wood to protect our ecosystem from invasive species. By working together, we can ensure the continued health of Undercliff Farm's precious wildlife and natural beauty. We’re delighted to share this unique space with you and encourage responsible pet ownership, a commitment to safety, and respect for all guests. Take a moment to breathe deeply, explore, and create lasting memories in this peaceful corner of the world. Welcome to Undercliff Farm. A Haven for Motorbike Enthusiasts.
