  • 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 Park 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 in 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. The site opens up its refreshment trailer during summer weekends (from 10am to 5pm) to sell drinks and locally sourced Jersey ice cream. For dinner, you may want to bring along a barbecue and load it up with supplies from shops in Ashbourne (20 minutes’ drive) instead. 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. There's a shower and toilet block on site, with outdoor washing-up facilities and a hot-water dog wash, as well as a chemical toilet disposal point.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, basic campsite offering excellent value in a beautiful location, ideal for walkers and explorers of Thor's Cave. Pitches are spacious and the site is generally well-maintained. Recent upgrades include a new toilet and shower block, which guests report as clean and modern. Nearby pubs and food vendors are a bonus. While some guests note potential for mud and limited phone signal, the overall experience is highly positive, with many planning to return.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful location with nearby pub. Well maintained amenities.

Disliked Site management is poor. No one meets you on arrival you have to phone (and we suspect some don't do this). We agreed pitch 8 for our stay with one motorhome on pitch 9 on arrival. Then a car arrived with a tent, then a white van, then a second white van, the second of these parked <6 feet from our van. So, by morning 1 motorhome, 1 car, 1 tent and 2 white vans all on one pitch immediately next to us.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Was a nice site with friendly staff. Plenty of space in the pitch and very quiet area.

Disliked The showers didn’t drain properly so when someone showered the whole toilet block was flooded. It also probably needs a bigger toilet block for the amount of people staying there.

Local attractions

Make sure your walking shoes are in good shape before your stay here, because you’ll most likely be doing a fair amount of touring on foot. In some cases, you can even set off directly on foot – perhaps heading off to Thor’s Cave (20 minutes’ walk) or picking up the Manifold Way (25 minutes) for an easygoing wander along a former railway line. Other top picks nearby for a walk include Dovedale (15 minutes’ drive), famed for its stepping stones, and the historic Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (20 minutes). There’s also a huge expanse of parkland to explore at the Chatsworth estate (40 minutes) once you’ve visited the house, the farmyard and the adventure playgrounds. For different days out nearby, head off to see the animals at Peak Wildlife Park (20 minutes), zoom along all the thrill rides at Alton Towers (25 minutes) or see the scenery from above on the cable car at Heights of Abraham (35 minutes).
