Woodland glamping in Wauchope Forest

·

Close to Hawick in the Scottish Borders, Wauchope Forest has a criss-crossed network of walking trails, cycle tracks and bridle paths that lead visitors through a landscape of mixed woodland with thick canopies and shimmering streams to viewpoints where you can see the Cheviot Hills straddling the border between Sctoland and England and, on a clear day, even peek over the border to Northumberland. As you explore, you might spot red squirrels, black grouse and goshawks overhead. It’s a fairly off-the-beaten track destination that you may have all to yourself.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.* 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.

Woodland glamping in Wauchope Forest guide

When to go

Spring through autumn is the best time to visit Wauchope Forest. Mild, sometimes warm, temperatures and long daylight hours mean that you can enjoy the outdoors to the fullest and have your best chance of spotting wildlife. It is a year-round destination, however, but be aware that winter days are short and often wet. Those who wish to set up camp should note that motorhomes and campervans are typically permitted to park overnight at the Wauchope car park from April through October.

Know before you go

  • Having your own transport is essential for reaching Wauchope Forest. 
  • You’ll find a selection of places to shop, eat and drink in Hawick and Newcastleton, both around a 20-minute drive away. There are also public toilets in Hawick.
  • The weather is always unpredictable in Scotland. Even in the height of summer, bring warm, wet weather gear.
  • When visiting any natural setting in Scotland, be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
