  • This was a great find, i've seen lots of people wild camping on social media and i've always been afraid to ask land owners if i can, or the worry without permission. This spot was amazing, we had a supply of fresh water from the farm and it was a short walk up some steep crags to a plateau of an old settlement, not too taxing, we managed to haul all our stuff up with 2 year olds. It had 360 degree views all around and you can see Lindisfarne and the ocean. The sun sets and sun rises, were amazing. We were really fortunate to get perfect weather. There were young cattle roaming which were no harm and added some excitement when they came through our campsite. It was abundant of wildlife, in the day we say hares and deer, in the evening we saw bats and Owls. You can easily hike on and find many remote camping spaces all with their own amazing views. I am looking forward to coming back some day, but still enjoying the afterglow of the last trip.
