Adventure off grid with a camping road trip in the North East of England

The North East of England is an underrated gem for getting off grid and back to nature.

Boasting some of the wildest countryside in England, the heather-covered North York Moors, dark skies of Kielder Forest and 21-metre cascade of High Force waterfall, make it a stunning location for a road trip in your 4x4 camper truck or campervan.

If you’re looking for inspiration, the popular Northumberland 250 route will take you on an epic 250-mile adventure through the sparsely populated Northumbria National Park, right up to the Scottish borderlands and over the three-mile causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

And you can stay overnight in some amazing off-grid camping locations, too.
