  • Well-maintained site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Walking distance to the Tissington Trail, Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud
  • Dog-friendly pitches; 20 minutes’ walk to the local pub
When the scenery is this spectacular, you don’t need to add many extra attractions to create a great little place to stay. That’s the (very sensible) approach at Hollington End Farm, a working farm surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Peak District National Park. The owners here have chosen to keep things simple for that true feeling of being immersed in these fabulous Derbyshire surroundings. There are no guest toilets or showers so you’ll need to be self-contained on the bathroom front, but you’ll have access to a chemical disposal point. Pitches are in a part-sloping field with plenty of space for awnings, barbecues and camping chairs, so get yourselves set up how you like and then put your feet up to admire the splendid views. Need some barbecue supplies? The town of Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive away) is a good place to find shops of all sorts, along with a few places to eat. If you’re more in the mood for a pub dinner, take a 20-minute walk across the farm’s fields to the pub in Thorpe. Heading the other way, a 20-minute stroll gets you to Tissington for a tea room overlooking the village duck pond. Keen to stretch your legs a bit more? A public footpath crossing the site takes you out onto endless miles of trails through the stunning scenery, including routes to Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale. And there’s good news for any hopeful wagging tails out there too – this site welcomes dogs, so they’ll be welcome to join you for a scenic stay and a walk or two.

What customers say

This peaceful, friendly site boasts beautiful views and an excellent location for walking and cycling, with direct access to footpaths and nearby trails. Hardstanding and grass pitches are available, though some note pitches can be sloping and may require levelling blocks. Facilities are basic, but owners are helpful, and many visitors praise the site's value for money and tranquil atmosphere, with a strong desire to return. Some mention occasional road noise.

Andrea M.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Ideal for a peaceful get away with beautiful views and fantastic walks on your doorstep. Perfect location for walks to Ashbourne and Dove Dale. There was a small amount or road noise, mainly from farm vehicles but not enough to bother us. The site is well kept and the hard standing pitches are level and spacious. There is a water point, waste disposal and plenty of bins. Stephanie was very welcoming and provided us with local information and directions. The site is on a working farm and the fields next door were full of lambs and calves which was lovely to see. The Old dog pub is a short walk across the fields, a welcome stop off on our walk back from Ashbourne. Word of warning if you have a portly Lab like us, some of the styles/gateways are too narrow for the dog to squeeze through so we had to lift him over.
All in all a very enjoyable stay and we cant wait to come back.

Disliked absolutely nothing.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Basic no frills site. Water tap and chemical waste provided, but no toilets or showers. Level pitches, easy to set up. Site is next to a road, so there is traffic noise. Working farm so we didn't see the owners as it was lambing season, rang the phone number on farmhouse door to reach them, and very friendly. Beautiful countryside views, very close to Tissington and Trail, Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale etc. Pub within walking distance across fields via public footpath. We only stayed one night as testing out our awning, but will definitely return to this lovely site.

Disliked Pitches themselves are level, but a couple slopined away at the edges so might be difficult to pitch a large awning.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Peaceful tranquil site with nature all around, sheep in the next field, our cocker Poppy was watching on from a distance, but very respectful, she loved it here too.
Great walk across the fields to The Old Dog where we had a pint and a wine but no food, maybe next time.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Easy to find location. Great trails, Thorpe cloud and Dovedale walkable across fields. Quiet. Great selection of farm produce. Cheap and very cheerful. Great for a weekend break.

Disliked Pitches can be tricky to reverse onto. Stop at main gate and review before committing to a pitch.

Local attractions

Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive) is more than just a handy place for shops – it’s also a lovely place for a wander, with heritage buildings, cobbled streets and a Thursday market. It’s also the starting point for the 13-mile Tissington Trail, a traffic-free route for walkers and cyclists; bikes can be hired locally. Delving further into the Peak District National Park might take you to places like Dovedale (five minutes), Thor’s Cave (15 minutes) and Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (15 minutes) or to popular towns like Buxton and Bakewell (both 25 minutes). Haddon Hall (25 minutes) and Chatsworth House (half an hour) both make excellent outings if you like to explore grand historic buildings. Just outside the national park’s boundaries, the cable car at Heights of Abraham (half an hour) is a great way to see some of the scenery from above. If that’s not quite enough of a thrill, try a day on the rollercoasters of Alton Towers (25 minutes) – or the rides of Gulliver’s Kingdom (25 minutes) if you’ve got smaller kids.
