Campsite view (added by manager 08 aug 2022)

Spectacular views in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A five-min drive from Derwent Reservoir; 30 from Durham and Newcastle
Barbecues and campfires allowed; pub and restaurant right next door

No need to go far to conjure up magical views from Northumberland’s Bolbec Manor Campsite: it overlooks Muggleswick Moor and is on the north-eastern edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a wildlife and walking haven making up the second biggest AONB in the country. As you’d expect, outdoor adventuring is all around here, from moorland hikes over the North Pennines and further west around the Yorkshire Dales National Park, to roaming the paths of Muggleswick woods to the south. The Derwent Reservoir, one of England’s biggest inland waterways, is five minutes’ drive away for sailing, windsurfing and lakeside cycling; fishing and golf are close by, and city days are easily sorted at Durham and Newcastle, each 30 minutes’ drive away. Bolbec Manor has toilets, shower facilities, a washing-up area and chemical disposal. Barbecues and campfires are allowed; the nearest shops are at Shotley Bridge five minutes’ drive away and Consett within 10. As a peaceful site, no loud music is allowed (the soundtrack here will be provided by the hens that scratch about on site). Please note that tents staying for three nights or more should be relocated after the third night.

Powered grass and earth tent site

Liked: Fabulous and well maintained individually pitches with stunning views. Friendly and very helpful owner who showed us to the pitch. Site was so easily accessed from the main road. All amenities to hand with clean showers and toilet block. Stayed two nights and our dogs were welcomed too. Privacy fencing and hedges made the pitch more exclusive

Disliked: The unavoidable noise from the road, which may decrease as the plantings grow.

Liked: Owner was friendly. Good pitch and facilities. Reasonably priced and well maintained site.

Disliked: This is our second visit to the campsite, lovely site however on both occasions music was being played well past 12am, along with the proximity to the main road, if you’re a light sleeper, possibly not the best site for you as we did struggle, but do appreciate this is something out of the sites control.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked: Beautiful quiet campsite. Very Good facilities and clean. Lovely owners. Amazing views.

Disliked: Signage could be clearer to find the campsite, although we found it because of the pub. Would be really lovely if you could provide a kettle in the kitchen so that campers can have a cuppa tea. WiFi would be good too. And if possible a small playground for kids would be amazing.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent or motorhome site (large)

Liked: This was such a friendly place, we were made to feel so welcome. We arrived in the rain, so went to the equally lovely pub next door. When we came out, the rain had stopped and the views were stunning. We listened to skylarks, lapwing and saw rabbits. Loved the planting and the young trees and the way the site is cared for - a lot of love has gone into this, you can just tell. Great, level pitches, good, immaculate facilities - really recommended!

Local attractions

An easy – and recommended – first stopoff is Derwent Reservoir, in a handsome setting a few miles from Bolbec Manor. Take a hike (or stroll) on the well-maintained paths to Pow Hill Country Park on the south shore or Millshield picnic area on the north, or take the longer bike route around the reservoir covering some local roads as well. Drop into the visitor centre for info, the key to the bird hide on Derwent’s western edge, or a fishing permit: Derwent is a popular pick for Co Durham trout fishing. Around the North Pennines AONB, it’s well worth the 45-minute drive to Ninebanks near Hexham to access Isaac’s Tea Trail, a circular 37-mile route from there to Alston via Allendale and Nenthead. The same distance to the south and also well worth the drive is the famed waterfall of High Force, where the entire River Tees plunges 21 feet over a cliff; get to the waterfall via the Pennine Way stretch crossing the Moor House Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve. Also to the south, the market town of Bishop Auckland is home to Auckland Castle and its 800 acres of parkland, and to Binchester Roman Fort (this is Hadrian’s Wall land), a Roman fortress on the banks of the River Wear. Somewhat more modern history is at Durham and its must-see stunning cathedral.
