Small family-run site on a working farm in a small Derbyshire village
Peak District location, 15 minutes’ drive from the Monsal Trail
Footpaths from the site or village; a five-minute drive to six pubs

Longing for a peaceful hiking holiday in the Peak District National Park? What a position Hobson Farm will put you in for trails over the countryside, old railway lines, dales, moors and tors. That’s right – this small, family-run site is just 15 minutes’ drive from the Monsal Trail and 25 minutes from the High Peak Trail (two hot hiking destinations in the pretty Peak District). Hobson Farm is based in the small Derbyshire village of Flagg, which the Limestone Way passes through. The Midshires Way's bridleways are around half an hour's walk away… and if that’s not enough to get you started with, Lathkill Dale is an hour and 20 minutes’ hike away. First, you’ll probably want to top up your flasks with fresh water (there's a shared tap between every two pitches). The site also has an outdoor toilet with a wash basin, and an Elsan point to get rid of any campervan waste. The field itself is flat and has good drainage, sandwiched between two working farms and set back off the road with bushes at either end. There may not be a pub in the nearest village, but you’ll be well placed for a tour of the local watering holes, because there are six pubs within five minutes’ drive of Hobson Farm. Two are easy enough to get to on foot, one being 35 minutes’ walk away in Monyash and another in Hurdlow (45 minutes’ walk). If you’re already scheming and plotting out what walks might be on the agenda, other top picks (aside from those direct from the site) include the rocky landscape of The Roaches (25 minutes), the moors of Kinder Scout (45 minutes) and the 517-metre-high Mam Tor (half an hour).

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: A lovely peaceful campsite with great views of the countryside. Baby goats in the field next to us and chickens roaming around was lovely to see. Basic facilities but spotlessly clean. A welcome text from Billy with directions was a nice touch and greeted on arrival. Handy site to visit Buxton.

Disliked: Nothing at all to dislike about this campsite.

Liked: Really pleasant rural site where hens wander about and baby goats bleat in the next field. It is a working farm, so the sound of machinery was noticeable. Quite basic, but good value for money. As a camper van newbie, it was really good to get a thoughtful text from the owner beforehand.

Local attractions

How do you like your hikes? With a waterfall and moorland views, like the landscape at Kinder Scout (45 minutes' drive)? Across a gritstone viewpoint where rock climbers often scale the crags, like Stanage Edge (half an hour)? Perhaps you’d rather a shorter stroll, broken up with picnics in the peaceful grounds of Chatsworth House (20 minutes), a 17th-century mansion with its own farmyard and adventure playground. The towns of Bakewell (10 minutes), Ashbourne (25 minutes) or Buxton (15 minutes) will slow down the pace too, with plenty of places to stop for a Bakewell tart or another tasty bite to eat. You’ll be going underground in search of limestone caverns with stalactites and fossils at Poole's Cavern & Buxton Country Park (15 minutes). Haddon Hall (20 minutes) is a different world entirely – a Tudor hall with Elizabethan gardens.
