Experience an immersive 3-hour off-road safari through 12,000 years of natural and farming history, spotting red deer and cattle while learning about Northumberland's landscape.

Ingram Valley Farm Safari offers families and visitors a unique adventure aboard specially designed Traxter off-road vehicles, exploring the dramatic geological and cultural history of this beautiful Northumberland valley. Guided by LANRA award-trained tour guides and members of the Wilson family—who have farmed this land since 1949—guests journey through time from the last ice age through 6,000 years of farming heritage, discovering how the landscape has been shaped by natural forces and human stewardship. The 3-hour experience takes visitors across the hilltops where red deer and cattle graze, while guides share fascinating stories about Northumberland's largest scheduled ancient monument and the role livestock play in conservation today. Guests enjoy spectacular views, abundant wildlife, wildflowers, and birds at 1,000 feet elevation, with opportunities to observe deer up close. The experience culminates at Ingram Cafe, where visitors can view the National Park Exhibition and reflect on their journey. Ingram Valley Farm Safari is particularly welcoming to families with children ages 4 and up, and the venue has made significant efforts to ensure accessibility for visitors with mobility challenges and disabilities. The safari is dog-friendly, and booking is required. This is part of the National Park Experiences curated collection, offering authentic insights into the special qualities of the national park landscape.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Ingram safari and it exceeded our expectations. Patrick and Paul were so knowledgeable, responsive and passionate about the valley which made our trip even more special and memorable. We were taken to some wonderful spots and were lucky enough to see a range of wildlife, from the stags to hares to a lapwing. An awe-inspiring three hours which flew by. We wholeheartedly recommend this special and unique experience.

An unusual, informative and completely enjoyable experience. We seniors loved it! The buggy made us laugh at times. Ever been eye to eye with a massive black bull? Ever hand fed and stroked red deer hinds and stags? The scenery was beatiful on a warm, bright day. At 335m above sea level the panoramic views were unforgettable. Learnt a lot abiut iron and bronze age life. Patrick, our guide was so knowledgeable. Thank you

Brilliant 3 hours. Got to see loads of animals and views across the valley are amazing. Patrick our guide was great and had so much knowledge of the Bronze and Iron age. It was fascinating learning about it all and seeing evidence for ourselves.
