Barrasford Park: A Woodland Retreat Rich in History and Natural Beauty

Hidden within 60 acres of private Northumberland woodland, Barrasford Park is one of those rare places that instantly makes you slow down, breathe, and feel connected to the countryside again.

As one of the proud parks we work with at Ideal Caravans, Barrasford captures the best of rural Northumberland with peaceful surroundings, historic charm, and a strong sense of community for those looking to make a holiday home truly their own.

For anyone searching for static caravans or lodges for sale in Northumberland, Barrasford Park offers space, serenity, and timeless character.

A Park with Deep Roots

Barrasford Park has a fascinating past. Originally the site of a hospital chosen for its “health-giving properties,” it now stands as a tranquil, long-established family-run caravan park known for its warm welcome and natural beauty.

Set on a gentle elevation surrounded by farmland and small villages, the park feels private yet well-connected that is just off the A68, nine miles north of Corbridge and 27 miles south of Carter Bar on the Scottish border.

It’s a park designed for mature owners and nature lovers, where peace and wildlife replace noise and rush.

Nature Right on Your Doorstep

One of Barrasford Park’s greatest treasures is its woodland setting. You don’t need to drive to find beautiful walks, they’re right outside your door. These woods are alive with native wildlife: deer, red squirrels, hares, foxes, owls, lizards, butterflies, and dragonflies.

The trees themselves tell a story too — Scots pine, oak, birch, willow, beech, and elder, surrounded by wildflowers, ferns, and seasonal colour that changes with the months. From spring daffodils and rhododendrons to frosted holly berries in winter, Barrasford Park is a living postcard of Northumberland’s natural charm.

Relax, Socialise and Belong

While the park is peaceful, it also has a welcoming community spirit. The licensed Clubhouse and Beer Garden is a favourite meeting place and is perfect for enjoying a local ale on a summer evening or catching up with friends.

It’s open daily, often hosting live music, events, and private gatherings, adding a friendly social heartbeat to the park.

For those considering ownership, the team offers honest, straightforward advice and a range of new and pre-owned holiday homes for sale in Northumberland, set on spacious, well-kept pitches with parking and plenty of room to make your space your own.

Explore the Best of Northumberland

From Roman history to rolling hills, Barrasford is perfectly placed to explore some of the region’s most iconic sights.

A short drive takes you to Hadrian’s Wall and its ancient forts such as Housesteads, Chesters, and Vindolanda. Ideal for history lovers and walkers alike. Nearby villages Barrasford and Wark offer riverside strolls and traditional pubs like The Barrasford Arms and The Battlesteads Hotel & Observatory.

For a day out, visit the market town of Hexham, home to its 12th-century Abbey and vibrant markets, or Corbridge, recently named one of the best places to live in the UK.

Those who love the outdoors can explore Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water & Forest, or take a scenic drive to Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne on the coast.
