Cleghorn Farm

11 units · Glamping, Tents250 acres · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS FOR CAMPING. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK 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.

Glamping near Stranraer with a private bathroom guide

Overview

The port town of Stranraer no longer bustles with visitors making their way to Northern Ireland by ferry—that service has moved north to Cairnryan—but there’s still plenty of reasons to visit this town at the head of Loch Ryan. The town’s attractive centre is dominated by the Castle of St. John, a ruined four-story tower house, which dates from around 1500. Stranraer is also the gateway to the Rhins of Galloway, a rugged peninsula that is a favourite of walkers and wildlife watchers. It’s also close to Castle Kennedy Gardens, where the grounds feature two lochs, a lily pond and an avenue of monkey puzzle trees. 

Where to go

Around Town

Other locations around town include the Stranraer Museum and the lochside Agnew Park, which is a favourite of families with its boating lake, miniature train and pedal go-karts. Close to both the town centre and ferry port, Aird Donald Caravan Park has pitches for tents and tourers. A few miles north, Ryan Bay Holiday Park has electric and non-electric pitches for tourers.

Kirkholm

On the western bank of Loch Ryan, north of Stranraer, the little village of Kirkholm lies on the northern tip of the Rhins of Galloway, providing a good base for exploring the peninsula. The small and secluded campsite at North Rhinns Camping offers an experience close to wild camping, with pitches for tents and small campervans.

Portpatrick

The pastel-coloured buildings of the pretty village of Portpatrick are set around a harbour, west of Stranraer. As the Southern Upland Way starts here, it’s a good base for long-distance walkers. Less strenuous walking options include strolling along the cliffs to Dunskey Castle. Overlooking the Irish Sea, Sunnymeade Caravan Park has a range of grass and hardstanding pitches, as well as a glamping bell tent.

When to go

The weather is at its best—and the days are long—from May to September, making this the peak visitor season in and around Stranraer. If you are looking for a more secluded experience without the risk of running into crowds or booked up sites, visiting in April or October is a good alternative. Winter can often bring storms and disrupted travel plans—and the days are short and many businesses closed.

Know before you go

  • Wild camping is possible throughout Scotland, but comes with responsibilities. Check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website to find out more.
  • Stranraer Railway Station has direct links to Glasgow, Dumfries and over the border to Carlisle. Local buses can get you to most nearby places of interest.
  • There are several well-stocked supermarkets in Stranraer’s town centre.
