THE CAMPSITE WILL REMAIN CLOSED FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WE WILL UPDATE THIS WHEN WE DECIDE ON A REOPENING DATE, THANKYOU
A family run Upper Teesdale working farm set between the River Tees and the near wilderness fells of the high Pennine Hills. Our summer hayfields contribute to the spectacular meadows for which Teesdale is renowned, providing the winter feed for our sheep. There can be few places offering such peace and tranquility yet an area which offers superb walking, fishing, canoeing, cycling, and other activities whilst retaining excellent local amenities. The Pennine Way crosses our Farm to the North on the banks of the River whilst to the South the road from Middleton-in-Teesdale provides the access. Some 100 yards beyond our farm is the traditional country pub of the Strathmore Arms and the road it ends in the Strathmore Estates.

Low Way Farm, Holwick
The lovely hay meadow between Meadows Edge, and The Camping Barn / Camping Field.
Selected by the North Pennines AONB to hold the 1st Northern Scything Competion.
- as if from a bygone era.
Modern farm machinery now replaces the scythe, though the stunning hayfields of the area still maintain the systems of days gone by.
