West Wood Yurts is a luxury camping experience situated in a beautiful, secluded woodland glade in a quiet corner of Cut Thorn Farm at National Trust Gibside. It was set up in 2010 as a farm diversification project at Gibside’s Cut Thorn Farm and has since continued to support the main farm business of breeding Beef Shorthorn Cattle, which are a native breed, originally found in the Teeswater & Durham regions. West Wood Yurts comprises of six generously spaced yurts: 2 large yurts for sleeping up to six people and 4 small yurts for sleeping up to four people. The newest unit, our Shepherd’s Hut, offers a romantic private getaway for two, with space for 1 child.

We finally got our hands on some Blue Tongue vaccine so today I have the questionable pleasure of handling every cow on the farm with my hubby 🫣🤣

A big attraction at the farm this summer has been "Joey Essex", big daddy turkey, often seen strutting his stuff outside the Hot Tubs.

The 2 photos below show his young rival "Tommy K" taking his flock out for a wander this morning.

Shhhhhh, it's still too early to mention Xmas!

It's turned into a beautiful day today, the wind has dropped, the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and the sun has even made an appearance.

This gorgeous view can be seen of the Derwent Valley and our latest freshly born calves.
