About Knotlow Farm

Welcome to this charming site, located on a farm on the outskirts of Flagg and in the heart of the White Peaks. Visit nearby market towns such as Bakewell, head to the majestic Chatsworth Estate, order takeaway breakfasts and enjoy homemade pizza in the evenings. During the summer, spot cattle, Dorper sheep and lambs grazing in the fields. There is a selection of non-electric spacious grass pitches for your tent or caravan, spread across two camping fields (family-friendly and adults-only). Six grass pitches with 16 amp electric hook-ups are also available. If you're looking for a bit of luxury and an outdoor experience with those home comforts, the site is home to adult only glamping pods made for two, each with their own hot tubs! The pods are handmade and sit just behind the farm buildings in their private setting. Each pod has two single beds (converting to a double bed), a kitchenette, cutlery and heating. Outside, the raised fenced decking houses a hot tub and a gas barbecue. Shared facilities are nearby. Dogs are welcome only on the camping field. No pets in the pods.

The campsite is open from 29th March to 30th September. Pods are open all year round.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Adult Only)Sep 2024

Came here with my girlfriend and was a great 2 nights away. With the time of year, it was quite quiet, but very nice and staff were friendly. Quick check in and didn't need to see or hear from anyone after. Will definitely return.

Head out and explore this stunning area in the Peak District. Arbor Low Stone Circle, known as 'the Stonehenge of the Peak District', is just a ten-minute drive away, and although none of the stones are left standing, the size of this major site is worth the visit alone.

Castleton, approximately 20 minutes from the site, has plenty on offer, including the ruins of an 11th-century castle and one of the country's earliest Norman fortresses.

If you fancy following in the footsteps of some of Jane Austen's most famous characters, head to Chatsworth House (a 10-minute drive) and stroll through the beautiful gardens before roaming through its corridors.

Other attractions include:

  • Thornbridge Hall
  • River Wye
  • Bakewell Old House Museum
  • Winnats Pass
  • Mam Tor
