A peaceful spot

  • Peaceful wild camping at a farmland site in the Peak District
  • A 15-minute drive from the towns of Buxton and Bakewell
  • Less than an hour from Alton Towers theme park; near the Monsal Trail
Relaxing among green fields, trekking through the hills of the Peak District and settling down of an evening in a traditional village pub… If that sounds like your dream getaway then Burrs Manor Wild Camping, a mile from the village of Chelmorton in the Peak District, should be the very spot for you. The site is in a top spot for walking and cycling getaways, close to many of the waymarked trails crisscrossing the Peak District. The site is three miles from the start of the Monsal Trail, where you can hire bikes or explore the former railway line on foot or horseback, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from the starts of the High Peak Trail and the Tissington Trail. You can stay active on site with a game of footgolf (book in advance) or just idle around in the peace and quiet of the countryside farmland, taking in the view over the farmhouse towards the peaks. To unwind in the evenings, head to the traditional village pub in nearby Chelmorton, a 25-minute walk away, to have a bite to eat and knock one back in the beer garden. If you’d prefer to handle all the cooking yourself, barbecues are welcome on site and the towns of Buxton and Bakewell are nearby when you need to stock up on supplies.

Liked Simple site with basic facilities which is absolutely fine by me. Owner lady was very nice. Easy walking access to the Monsal trail, nearest pub, a 20 mins walk away, is the Church Inn in Chelmorton, which is excellent, great food and fine ale.

Liked It is what it is! A field with all the facilities you need. For the price per night, it's perfect. A good base for walks and some are straight from the site. Close to popular places. Very quiet when I was there but late season. Easy book in by phone and the host came straight out to collect remaining payment and I stayed an extra night. All in all a fab place and would use again. Thank you x

Disliked Better signage regarding buying fire wood. Other campers were quite loud during the night but nothing too dramatic.

Liked 10/10 – Fantastic campsite!
Had a 1 night stay at Burrs Manor Wild Camping. A peaceful, relaxing spot with beautiful surroundings, perfect for getting away from it all. Really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet camping getaway in the Buxton area. Would happily stay again.

Disliked Nothing could have been better for the type of stay I was looking for, and at just £12 a night, you really can't complain. Fantastic value for money and I'd definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Liked This is a great little campsite in a fantastic location, right in the centre of the Peak District, with plenty of great walks a short drive away.
I stayed for the one night, unfortunately, I kept missing the host.
The facilities on site were really well looked after.
It is only a short 15 minute walk to the local village, with a great pub (The Church Inn)

Local attractions

There’s lots more to do in the Peak District National Park than follow trails: abseil from the viaduct at Millers Dale, explore the spectacular dams of Derwent Valley or dive below ground at Blue John Cavern – all less than an hour from Burrs Manor. The nearby towns of Buxton and Bakewell are must-visit spots too: in Buxton, go below the earth’s surface once more at Poole’s Cavern, stand under the stunning Devonshire dome, or stroll through the Pavilion Gardens. And in Bakewell? There’s plenty to see and do here too, but the one thing you must try is a Bakewell pudding... Plenty of old houses are in the area for historic and cultural days too: Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Tissington Hall are each less than 30 minutes from Burrs Manor, and The Old Manor, White Peak Estate, Little Moreton Hall, Kedleston Hall and Sudbury Hall are all within an hour’s drive. Too sedate? A more high-octane experience awaits on the rides at Alton Towers theme park, a 50-minute drive from Burrs Manor. For something that falls somewhere in the middle, try a treetop adventure full of zip lines and rope courses at Go Ape, 15 minutes from the site.
