  • 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 campsite offers a peaceful, back-to-basics experience in a beautiful Peak District location, ideal for walkers with close proximity to Thors Cave and local pubs. Visitors appreciate the spacious pitches, stunning views, and proximity to farm animals. While facilities were initially basic (portaloo, water tap), a new, clean toilet and shower block has been installed, significantly improving the experience. Some guests noted potential for mud in wet weather and occasional noise, but overall, it's a well-regarded, good-value option for a relaxing countryside break.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Location is fantastic, minutes from stunning scenery and so many different routes to walk that it’s never crowded. generously spaced out pitches. A pub 5 minutes walk away and 2 fabulous vans on site serving food and drink at weekends. The owners couldn’t be more helpful.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Brilliant location, the site was easily accessible and had clean facilities. Very short walk to the village pub, and it's great that there was a snack van on site for breakfast.

Disliked More showers would be good, but it's by no means a deal-breaker, I'd happily go back.

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).
