Hardstanding throughout fully serviced pitch area

Small, modern caravan park in the Peak District National Park
A 20-minute drive from Chatsworth Estate and 10 minutes from Buxton
Award-winning pub within walking distance

A small, modern and well-kept site, within easy reach of Buxton and Bakewell and a short walk from an award-winning pub – Farditch Farm is quite the Peak District pleaser. This friendly park in the village of Chelmorton is the place to settle for a little while if you seek your own space; valuing quality over quantity, the owners have elected to set up just a handful of pitches, each one spacious and surrounded by landscaping for the dual win of privacy and pretty colour. There's also good vehicle access, although the site is quite close to a busy road and does experience some traffic noise. Facilities have been limited to the essentials to maintain an uncrowded vibe. But what essentials they are – the smart central facilities building has a cosy lounge area and communal kitchen, and the adjacent toilet block has all mod cons, including plenty of showers, an accessible bathroom and handy touches including hairdryers. A cycle storage area is available on request, with secure storage and bike wash point. Skipping out from the site you can your pick from rural rambles on the miles and miles of trails that network the Peak District National Park, sampling the puddings in Bakewell and taking the waters in the spa town of Buxton. Pick up your eats at Chatsworth’s farm shop, 20 minutes’ drive away, or wander down to the local pub, the Church Inn, to see why it’s picked up awards for its offerings (tasty food and a fire by which to sup your pint, perchance?)

What customers say

This site boasts excellent, immaculately clean facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a communal lounge. Pitches are spacious and well-maintained. While the location is praised for its access to walks and nearby towns like Buxton, some guests report significant noise from the adjacent busy road. A dog walking field is available. Despite occasional road noise, many visitors highly recommend the site and plan to return.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Really good small site with everything need catered for .. and more!
Everywhere is spotlessly clean with great bathroom and showers and also a proper kitchen with appliances-I used just to wash up but it was just like being at home!
There is also a living/dining room area for communal use.
The pitch had a water tap and EHU and was large.Lovely surroundings with flower pots, a dog walking field, benches etc
WiFi was superb too

Disliked The road noise-I slept in the campervan pop top which is definitely noisier than ‘downstairs’ but some disturbance even though I used ear plugs.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great site with amazing facilities. Everywhere was very clean. WiFi, electric hook up and water on each pitch. Pitches were very spacious. We didn’t use the space but there is a well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities and a lovely relaxing lounge area. There was no formal check in and the pitch was given beforehand which we liked as we could just turn up whenever. Location was great, close to Bakewell, Buxton and man tor. Lovely views.

Disliked The noise from the road which started around 5am although this isn’t the sites fault.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding campervan pitch (no awning)

Liked Petit camping très bien organisé, équipements neufs et impeccables, facilité pour utiliser le salon et la cuisine, la proximité des petits chemins à travers champs pour se balader avec le chien. Super Pub au village à côté : patron, personnel et cuisine très chouette !

Disliked Le coin sans électricité avec un sol en caillou qui manque de chaleur.

Local attractions

With Chelmorton in the midst of the Peak District National Park, there are heaps of outdoorsy activities within easy reach. Walkers and cyclists have miles of trails to pick from; popular favourites nearby include the Tissington and Monsal trails. Horse riding, canoeing and climbing excursions are also available around the park. And might you fancy pottering around the country’s fave country house? Then it’s off to Chatsworth, 20 minutes from the site – the Italianate stately home has been voted to the top of the polls several times for its fab collection of art, its stunning state rooms and its gorgeous gardens. There’s also a farmyard and playground here for the amusement of smaller visitors. Plan to spend a bit of time in both the local towns of Buxton and Bakewell – the former for its grand opera house and elegant spa town heritage, the latter for poking about in the market and sampling its famed sweet treats (which is better – the tart or the pudding? Well, there’s only one way to settle that debate…)
