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, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon
I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position.
In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you.
The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river.
My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay.
You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk!
Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there.
This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host.
The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

What an amazing campsite with a great host Lynne! We had a brilliant couple of nights camping at Beirhope. The kids had the best time exploring and Lynne let them come and feed the alpacas and goats some carrots which they loved! Woodland wonder was a great space for us to pitch our tent and still have lots of room to run around. We only wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back. The kids are already asking when we can go and if we can get a pet alpaca!

My most favoured campsite to date. Trip with my 8year old camping buddy grandson. Peaceful, well thought out site. Pitches in different lovely spots. Indoor seating area, picnic tables. A lovely hide to sit in to watch the birds, relaxing. Sheep, goats, alpacas and a horse. Walking routes. Lots of birds. Spotted, chaffinches, siskins, white throats, house martins, wagtails. A robin on a fence watching us. On the drive out a buzzard sitting on a post. Lynne a warm and friendly host. Nothing is too much. Will most definitely return. Already recommended to my camping friends

What a beautiful spot for some camping. It is a short walk up to the campsite itself but the hosts provide wheelbarrows to help move things back and forth.
The campsite itself is lovely, enough space to keep to yourself, or plenty of room around the firepit for everyone.
Stunning views of the countryside, with only the odd train passing nearby. The occasional sounds of the deer and cows, alongside the bird calls helped settle me into the nature nearby.
Hosts clearly care very much about the campsite, accessiblity to the outdoors, and giving back to the land.
Would absolutely recommend, and will book again.

Lovely stay in a lovely location! Would highly recommend for a few days of switching off. A car is necessary and I’d recommend bringing your own food to cook! A cool box would also be useful if it’s warm as there isn’t anywhere to store food.

We had the BEST 2 nights here, it’s like paradise, the lake and grounds are so stunning and peaceful. On our first night we spotted a big tawny owl watching us from a tree, just beautiful. Literally everything you could need is here and we loved being all cosy in the hut together whilst it was raining. We just had so much fun and quality time together enjoying the simple life and cannot wait to come again thank you so much xxx

2 nights at Otter Moss Accommodation
We had such a lovely time staying in the cabin at Otter Moss for my boyfriend’s birthday weekend. It was the perfect getaway. It’s a really rustic and cozy spot, and the countryside around it is just beautiful. We had so much fun taking the rowboat out on the pond, and we even got to meet the two wild red deer that live on the land. They’re a mother and daughter, and they were so curious and friendly, which made the stay even more special. The hosts were also amazing. We were having a nightmare with transport, but they went out of their way to pick us up and drop us off, which helped us out so much. We’re so grateful for their hospitality and for helping us have such a great birthday weekend. Definitely recommend staying here if you want a nice, quiet break.

4 m rooftop tent
My wife and I spent 5 nights here in our roof top tent with a second tent to sit and cook in. We are totally self sufficient carrying all our own food, water and toilet facilities. We were the only ones camping there, and it was so peaceful and quiet, with just the sound of birds singing and owls twittering. Malcolm was incredibly friendly and checked to see we were ok and made sure we had plenty of wood for huge camp fires. We were completely surrounded by trees and even though the main road was not far away we could not hear any traffic noise. It was the rise of the midge season and local pharmacies sold sprays and lotions that contain 50% diet which came in handy. If you want safe wild camping then this is the place to stay. Will go back.

When to go
While most visited in summer, Glen Clova is a year-round destination. The landscapes vary throughout the year, from verdant pine forests in summer to snow-capped hills in winter. Winter visitors should, however, dress for occasionally harsh conditions and bear in mind that daylight hours are short. The best time to visit to see wildflowers in Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve is from mid-June through mid-August.
Know before you go
- The weather in Scotland is always changeable. Bring warm, waterproof clothing for walking in Glen Clova.
- Wild camping is permitted throughout Scotland, as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- The only way in and out of Glen Clova is via a single-track road with a dead end. Having your own transportation is essential.
- Jock’s Road is a challenging walk, which has been the site of tragedy. Coming prepared and properly equipped is critical.
