What customers say

Thorpe Cloud View offers stunning countryside vistas and a peaceful atmosphere, with many visitors praising the friendly and helpful owner, Ed. The site is noted for its spacious pitches, many with excellent views, and the option to choose your own pitch. Basic but clean toilet and shower facilities are available, along with fire pits for hire. While the site is generally well-regarded for its natural beauty and relaxed vibe, some guests have commented on the basic nature of the facilities and the sloping pitches.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Stunning views (especially sunset), large pitches with picnic tables, peaceful and private, fire pits for rent and wood for sale, warm showers, clean loos, and of course the hospitality of Ed the farmer, who went above and beyond to accommodate us. We had everything we needed, slept soundly, and were well situated for the places we wanted to explore this weekend. Would recommend to friends and family visiting the Peak District. Cheers Ed!

Local attractions

Historic towns? Terrific trails? Prehistoric sites? Absolutely. For the former, work a visit to the market town of Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive) or the spa village of Matlock Bath (20 minutes) into your itinerary. For the latter, Hob Hurst's House (40 minutes) is a prehistoric burial mound – and just another addition to a long list of historical spots across the Peak District, including the Nine Ladies Stone Circle (half an hour), Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (25 minutes), Tissington Hall (15 minutes), Kedleston Hall (25 minutes) and the Crich Tramway Village (half an hour). When it comes to trails, there’s a very splendid selection about. Perhaps a 13-mile cycle on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes) beginning in Ashbourne? The limestone gorge and country park at the Heights of Abraham (20 minutes)? The Dovedale (25 minutes) river walk to the Stepping Stones and the Thorpe Cloud? For those who like a paddle or a cycle, Carsington Water (15 minutes) is an attractive candidate. Family-friendly days are bound to be packed with activities there, and the same goes for the family-friendly theme park Gulliver's Kingdom (20 minutes).
