We had the most amazing 3 nights staying at Ted's campsite! The views were incredible, we went to bed and woke up every morning surrounded by fells. We rented a fire pit from Ted which was great and kept us warm into the evening. We walked to a lovely pub Dufton and did some lovely walks right from our tent. Meeting Ted was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so helpful and generous. We hitchhiked from Newcastle so were without a car and Ted offered us a lift around the area many times! He even took us to a chocolate factory - his generosity and kindness was so wonderful and greatly appreciated! If you want a camp that makes you feel like you are wilding camping with amazing views and an even more amazing host then this is the place! Thanks Ted you make our trip :)

Exceeded my expectations, clean, quiet, well kept and the owners have put so much effort and love into this campsite. Perfect for myself and small family. The surrounding areas offer so much as well and it's not far from the main shops. Will definitely be back in the future 🖤

Great spot and starting point for walks up Murton Pike and High Cup Nick. Nice little site, portaloo and tap as described and Ted is a fine fellow. Fresh eggs and he also let us stay in our campervans so worth asking if it’s been dry enough. Would stay again

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Teds campsite last night and have to say it was 10/10. Ted welcomed us at the gate, rented us a fire pit and wood with some matches for next to nothing. Had plenty of recommendations for breakfast and the abundance of pubs in villages surrounding. Lots of nice hiking trails around. We visited high force waterfall in the morning after we’d left after taking home all the farm fresh eggs ted had to offer. The night previous we’d had a lovely meal at one of the pubs in appleby and had a toasty from in the bakery in the morning which we delicious! Such a nice first njght away for me and my boyfriend made extra special by the lovely ted a perfect host in giving you your privacy but also a perfect helping hand !

My girlfriend and I decided to go camping completely last minute in our TentBox, so there weren’t many places left, but honestly, stumbling across Ted’s campsite felt like a win. It’s very back to basics, which was exactly what we wanted. No noise, no crowds, just a quiet spot tucked away from everything. The road nearby is private and barely used, so the only cars we saw were locals or farmers passing through.
The field is surrounded by sheep, chickens, geese and all sorts of wildlife. We even spotted lambs, rabbits and pheasants wandering around like they owned the place. At night, the little stream running along the edge of the field was ridiculously calming.
Ted himself is genuinely lovely :) you can tell he really cares about the people who stay there. He also sells fresh eggs, which we obviously bought, and they were great.
It was so quiet that we actually debated whether we should even bother going for a walk or just sit there and enjoy doing nothing. In the end we walked up Murton Pike (1 hour each way). On the path only was us and the sheep, and the view from the top was completely worth it.
For a last minute choice, we couldn’t believe how perfect it turned out. Proper peaceful, simple, and exactly what we needed.

Loved our stay at Walkmill!
A clean, friendly, well-spaced site with all the amenities needed.
We stayed on a tent plot, and despite a last-minute change of plan (adding another night to our stay) we were welcomed with no fuss.
Well situated near Warkworth, we walked to both Warkworth and down to nearby farm brewery Rigg and Furrow on each night for our stay, which gave us loads to do, and the scenery was beautiful.
I’d recommend Walkmill to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in beautiful Northumberland.

Stayed at Old Chapel Campsite in Murton, near Appleby. A great base for the North Pennines.
Ted was a brilliant host. He provided a fire pit, wood, and fresh eggs from the site. Bare basics done right.
Would happily return.

We had a fantastic time at Ted's campsite and he was lovely host. What you get in terms of views from the campsite and hiking route nearby makes this a brilliant hiker's base. A great stay!

We (2 adults and a 13 and 10 year old) enjoyed a two night stay in the pod. Lots provided with towels, bath mat, fridge and tea towels, washing up liquid. We asked for a pack for the fire pit which was waiting for us on the decking (I did however forget to pack matches so remember those!)
The sofa bed was quite small so I think it is better suited to three people at most depending on the age of the children.
We had a walk to the local pub but other than that spent time at the pod with the fire pit!

Loved our first pod experience. Very warm and cozy. Facilities were great! Directions were a little confusing at the start as the sat-nav took us to the house a little distance up the road but once we knew our place it was absolutely fine.
Would stay again and will be recommending to family & friends.
