About the park

Seldom Seen is a quiet, friendly, family - run park and has been established for over 30 years.  The park has been developed and maintained for the discerning caravan owner.  Set in ‘The Heart of Hadrian’s Wall Country’,  the caravan park is in an ideal location from which to explore the natural beauty and the rich history of the English / Scottish border region.  Although the backdrop is rural, you are not isolated.  Seldom Seen is near the main east – west A69 between Newcastle upon Tyne and  Carlisle.  Nearby, and within walking distance, is the small but lively market town of Haltwhistle, ‘The Centre of Britain’.  Only two miles from the park is Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site, steeped in 2000 years of history.  We are on the fringe of the Northumberland  National Park and within easy reach of the High Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and historical borders.  An hour or so drive and you are in the Lake District .  If you wish to do some ‘heavy duty shopping’, the Gateshead Metro Centre is 45 minutes away by road, as is Newcastle upon Tyne.  The city of Carlisle is within 30 minutes drive.  Haltwhistle railway station, which provides a good service between Newcastle and Carlisle, is only a mile from the park.  Seldom Seen is an ideal base for enjoying the wide variety of peaceful walks in the area.  The park has a David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award and is a perfect setting for bird watching.  We have private fishing on the river South Tyne .  There is also a small licensed club for a relaxing drink and a chat.  

There are approximately 50 privately owned holiday homes on serviced pitches, we do not allow sub-letting.  Occasionally we have quality pre-owned caravans for sale.  There are a limited number of touring pitches, with electric hook-up points available.  There is a toilet and shower block.  The park is open for 11 months a year i.e. 1st March to 31st January.   Booking is advisable.
