WWOOFing in the North East of England

Oct 13, 2018

With the rich natural beauty of its coastline, jaw-dropping scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, and cities steeped in industrial heritage, the North-East is a very visually exciting place to WWOOF indeed.

Why not experience being part of an off-grid, low-impact family smallholding (#74219),

or immerse yourself in the local dialect in and around the bustling historic cities whilst WWOOFing in urban gardens (#26891)? 

You can learn about the science of soil, and veg box schemes (#26887),

visit ancient woodlands, cattle and sheep farms (#78508), learn about workers co-ops, market gardens and much more.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like on a landless smallholding? (#84986)?
You can find out now by exploring hosts in the North-East to begin your perfect WWOOF adventure.
