If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable way to experience Northumberland’s beautiful landscapes, Northumberland Defender Hire offers the ultimate adventure.
Based at Vallum Farm, this family-run business provides expedition-ready Land Rover Defenders, fully equipped to help you get off the beaten track and experience the North East’s wild beauty in an authentic style.
The vehicles – named Cuthbert, Hadrian, and Oswald – sleep between two and five people, and are so much more than 4x4s. Each comes kitted out with everything you need for an off-grid escape: rooftop tents, camping gear, cooking equipment and cutlery, and even comforts like hot water bottles and a camping shower. All you need to bring is a sleeping bag.
Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or looking to try something new, everything has been thoughtfully included to make your journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
DISCOVER NORTHUMBERLAND 250
Their experience goes beyond just hiring out a vehicle – the team behind Northumberland Defender Hire also founded the Northumberland 250.
This 254-mile circular route showcases the very best of the region in four distinct sections – coast, country, dark skies and borderlands – taking in some of the region’s most iconic sites as well as some of the lesser-known remote areas.
Weaving through coastal villages, castle-dotted landscapes, the Cheviot Hills, and the expansive Northumberland National Park. Whether you want to tackle the full Nland250 or pick a shorter, curated route, the team can offer plenty of insider tips and suggested itineraries to suit your plans.
WILD CAMP UNDER THE STARS
One of the biggest draws? Access to some of the most exclusive and scenic camping spots thanks to their partnership with Wild With Consent. These 4×4-only campsites are hidden across Northumberland, allowing you to wild camp responsibly with full landowner permission. Pitch up under the vast dark skies, with nothing but the stars overhead. There are sites across Northumberland from just £25 per night.
There’s also a full list of traditional campsites and 24/7 parking spots – all of the information is provided, taking logistical planning off your list.
ADVENTURE DAY TRIPS
For those who want the adventure but are short on time, Northumberland Defender Hire also offers self-drive day hires between November and March. These winter adventures allow you to drive one of their iconic Defenders for the day (without the full camping kit) – perfect for a scenic day trip to Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, or the Simonside Hills.
Whether you’re craving a weekend escape, a week-long expedition, or a day out exploring, Northumberland Defender Hire helps you experience one of the UK’s most beautiful regions with total freedom.
With personalised advice, fully equipped vehicles, and the open road ahead, it’s time to book your next adventure…
