Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Really lovely location and clean and well maintained site. Friendly and helpful owners. Only complaint is there is only one drinking water tap so recommend bringing a water carrier.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Good views - nice open space - x4 toilets. Good location 8 mins from Bakewell. Perfect phone signal.

Disliked: Reconstruction going on so big piles of rubble but that can’t be helped. Toilets are very open but it’s what you expect on a wild campsite. Could have done with few more bins both ends but again, not the end of the world. Paying £5 extra for a dog as it would have made no difference if he was there or not.

Local attractions

A Peak District break should always include a visit to Chatsworth House (20 minutes’ drive). This country house has over 25 rooms, including a painted hall and sculpture room, and the grounds are just as splendid – here you can take the kids to meet the pygmy goats in the farmyard, and play at the adventure playground, eat according to the season at the estate’s restaurants or take a buggy tour. Haddon Hall (15 minutes) is another nearby historic house, with a medieval park that can be explored on guided tours. And there’s Matlock (20 minutes) close by too – it was once an ancient spa town and now a gateway for bike rides, hikes and the lot. If staying active is high on your priorities, a visit to the Hathersage Swimming Pool (25 minutes) is the place to practise your backstroke under the open sky. You’re bound to get in some steps around Alton Towers (40 minutes) too, running between rides. Dovedale (30 minutes), of course, is a place for more traditional hikes – the valley is almost three miles long, and there are stepping stones to cross on your way around this scenic stretch of land.
