Kielder Forest Wild Camping

Heading out of Scotland looking at the map and saw Kielder Water. We decided to go and take a look. We found access to the water impossible in a van and the campsites regimented and since Kielder forest is on the English side of the border wild camping is a challenge. Time was getting on. A couple of miles back on the Scottish side I saw a good spot so we back tracked.

Yes a good spot for the night

Could have stayed a few more nights, running water, a forest full of fallen wood.

These hills are home to lots of sheep. We woke up to the sound of sheep bleating and scratching themselves against the van.

I found plenty of evidence of other camps, have you or do you know anyone else who has stayed here overnight?

 




The Van Plan

Buy a van, (Or two.) Convert to a motor home then explore the UK and Europe, reaching places on the map other van travellers can not reach while enjoying vanlife in comfort.
