Cleghorn Farm

15 units · Glamping, Tents250 acres · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR CABIN BOOKINGS UNTIL NEXT SPRING. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. WE REQUIRE AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE FOR CABIN BOOKINGS* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

The Magical Cabin

1 unit · Glamping3 acres · Edmondsley, England
Magical A-Frame Wooden Cabin nestled in woodland, surrounded by trees with a stream running by. The cabin is a relaxing haven for both adults looking for a romantic getaway or families with children looking for adventure. The woodland offers tranquility and nature for adults and a playground with play area for children. I lit has the luxury of all modern amenities. The Cabin is accessed down a winding trail, which means it is only suitable for those who are able bodied. It is approximately 200m from the car parking area, therefore you must be able to carry your luggage. It is downhill to access the cabin, which means the walk back up to the car parking area is steep. This is what makes the cabin unique because once in the woodland it is just peace and tranquility. The stairs within the cabin as shown are steep but accessible for both adults and children (we lived in the cabin with our children for one year whilst renovating our home and they were 5 and 3 and managed the stairs independently. The area of great for walking, hiking and mountain biking.

Woodland campsites in Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

At the northern tip of the Northumberland Coast AONB, an expanse of salt marshes, tidal mudflats, and sand dunes make up the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. Walk or drive across the causeway to Holy Island at low tide, where you can hike through the dunes, visit the mediaeval Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, and admire the views from the Lookout Tower. Nature is king on the island, and bird-watchers can spot more than 300 species, including migrating waders and waterfowl such as spot pink-footed goose, wigeon, and grey plover. Camping is prohibited within the reserve, but there’s plenty of choice in the surrounding AONB.

When to go

Migratory birds flock to Holy Island from autumn through winter (October through February), which is the best time for bird-watching. Summer is peak season for tourists, and the island can get crowded, especially in July and August. Make an early start if you plan to drive, as the island’s limited parking can quickly fill up. The island is only accessible at low tide.

Know before you go

  • Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve is located at the northern tip of the Northumberland Coast AONB, about 10 miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed along the A1. 
  • The causeway to Holy Island can only be crossed at low tide—it’s essential to check the safe crossing times before setting out. There is a pay and display car park on the island. 
  • The village of Holy Island has several shops, pubs, and cafés where you can stop for lunch or purchase souvenirs.  
  • Although exploring the village and Priory is possible, the island’s trails are not easily accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
  • Watch out for Pirri-Pirri bur along the trails. It can cling to clothes and is easily spread to other sites where it can damage the natural environment, so check your clothing before leaving the island.
