Peak District touring pitches at a farm in the village of Wetton
Walk from site to Thor's Cave; Alton Towers 20 minutes' drive
A short walk from the village pub and tea room, plus walking trails

If the key components of your break in the Peak District National are a) easy access to walks; and b) easy access to a good post-walk pint, then you’ll probably be most pleased with the location of Yew Tree Farm Touring. This Derbyshire touring site is on the edge of the village of Wetton, opposite the village car park, which functions as the start point for several walking routes. That means that once you’ve parked your van you can simply set out on foot to get to Thor’s Cave, meander along the Manifold Way or find various other ways to soak up some of the scenery. If you don’t mind a little bit of a drive, the likes of Dovedale and the Heights of Abraham can be on the schedule too. Wherever you end up, (even if it’s Alton Towers, which is also nearby) you’ll be able to finish the day with a well-earned drink at the local pub, which is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the site. The village also has a tea room that’s open at weekends if a piece of cake and a cuppa is more your style. For dinner, you may like to bring along a barbecue and load it up with supplies from shops in Ashbourne (20 minutes’ drive). Touring pitches are set up in a five-acre field, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have a bit of peace. Chemical toilet disposal is available on site and although there are no toilets on site there are public loos in the car park next door.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely large level pitches. There are only 12 with lots of space between each other. Lovely view in every direction. Rubbish, waste water and fresh water tap all on concrete areas which were neat and tidy. There was also an immaculately kept portaloo. We didn’t see the owners but we selected our own pitch and then phoned them to say we have arrived and the lady was very friendly. Near a great pub but book first as we did, as they were turning people away. Great location for walkers and pretty village. We will return.

Disliked: Nothing
