Made up of seven forests dotted around the valley of the River Tweed, Tweed Valley Forest Park is Scotland’s most popular forested area and just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh. Glentress Forest is the park’s hub and known for its mountain bike routes, walking trails and exciting tree-top scramble. Cardrona is the perfect place for taking peaceful long-distance walks and cross-country horse rides. Caberston offers a climb to an Iron Age hill fort. Yair offers a Biodiversity Trail and river views, Traquair has the best downhill biking and the trails at Cademuir, and Thornielee lead you through wildlife-filled woodland and away from crowds.

Lanark, Scotland · 1 unit
*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* 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.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Not all sites are open year-round. Check ahead of travelling.
  2. Booking in advance is highly recommended during school summer holidays.
  3. Most sites allow booking well in advance, so you can plan as soon as you know your travel dates.

When to go

April through September is the best time to visit the Tweed Valley Forest Park, but the height of the summer season does bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer months, it’s a good idea to at least avoid school holidays and weekends—if unavoidable, be sure to book sites well in advance. Spring and summer is also the best time for viewing wildlife, including ospreys.

Know before you go

  • If you choose to wild camp, be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Having your own transport is essential for visiting, and getting around, Tweed Valley Forest Park.
  • Glentress Forest is home to visitor facilities, including a good cafe and the Wildlife Room where you can watch live feeds of ospreys and other wildlife.
