VW-Type Campervan - Hillside All Weather Grass Pitches with ElectricNov 2024

This is a lovely site with wonderful views across the landscape. It has very well kept pitches and facilities, and the scrupulously clean showers and toilets were fantastic. The site has two pubs within 5 minutes walking and the Monsall Trail is easily accessible from here. We loved it and are looking forward to coming again.

The farm is right in the centre of the Peak District and its many walking, cycling, mountain biking and fell running trails. Bakewell is a short drive or an hour's walk away (along the Monsal Trail) and has many shops and cafes. Chatsworth House is a 15 minute drive from the farm, and features on one of the mountain bike trails which start from the farm gate.

You are also welcome to interact with the farm's livestock, including sheep (sometimes lambs, sometimes bottle fed - and yes you can have a go), Highland cows (don't worry, they are in a different field!), a few pigs, some horses and two attention-seeking farm cats!
