Visit Bradley Burn Farm Shop and Café for a great range of local and homemade food and drink.
Why not stay a little longer in one of our four self-catering holiday cottages or our static holiday caravan park.  

The Bradley Burn is a tributary of the River Wear.  Rising on the moors above Wolsingham, the stream flows down through the farm to meet the river in lower Weardale.  On the eastern edge of the North Pennines, and in the heart of the Durham Dales, Bradley Burn Farm offers beautiful scenery and a peaceful environment - an ideal place to enjoy the fun of the countryside. Rural tranquility at its best!

Bradley Burn is a family run farm and we have been farming here since the 1930s.  After 25 years of having caravans to the south of the road, Bradley Burn Caravan Park was established in 1971.  The park has been improved and developed ever since.  Old farm buildings were converted to holiday cottages at Bradley Burn during the 1980’s, and the Farm Shop was opened in 2007.

Our family name is Stephenson. Thomas and Helen Stephenson grew up in Swaledale and Wensleydale respectively.  They came to the farm soon after they married.  This was just before the outbreak of the Second World War.  

Going back through the centuries the land has been farmed by Keenlysides, Mawsons, Strakers, Bowes (for nearly 300 years) and, in medieval times, by the Tempests and the Eures of Witton.  

The earliest known inhabitant was called Roger of Bradley and his name was recorded in the Boldon Book in 1189.
