  • Valley site a mile from the Peak District town of Buxton
  • Surrounded by woodland and with a gorge and viaduct at one end
  • Play area on site; half an hour's walk from the town centre
Travelling types, move Buxton to the top of your list… This Derbyshire spa town and gateway to the Peak District is only a mile away from Lime Tree Holiday Park – it'll take you five minutes to drive or half an hour to walk into the town centre from this handy base. The site is in its own valley in a Special Landscape Area, surrounded by farmland and with a wooded limestone gorge and old railway viaduct at one edge. (Maps, brochures and sheets of information on local attractions are at the Lime Tree reception, or ask one of the helpful staff for advice on things to see and do.) Facilities on site include an adventure playground where kids can let off steam and an ice block freezing facility so that you can look forward to a chilled drink after a long day out adventuring. The site also has a microwave where you're welcome to heat babies’ or toddlers' food and a gas cylinder exchange service. Among the amenities are a modern toilet block (in the centre of the field, no less), showers and a washing-up area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: The site was really big, facilities clean and the staff really lovely.

Disliked: Being on the flight path to Manchester airport made it quite noisy. Fridge not available due to revamp, reception did put them in their freezer but when we went to get them in the afternoon reception had closed.

From the manager: Apologies for the office not being available, we are having a new office/games room built which will be completed for the end of June.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: The staff were welcoming, the facilities were amazing, very clean and modern. We found a lovely spot to pitch our tent. It was a good hub to get to Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth House which was our main draw.

Disliked: The hill to drive up to the camping fields was a little uneven and bumpy and there were a few precarious rocks that I think our car may have scraped on.

Camping pod

Liked: An absolutely amazing stay. The camping pods were clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The wash blocks were spotless and staff very friendly. My two children can’t wait to return! Also an excellent location for exploring the Peak District. Thank you for a fantastic couple of days.

Heather W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Well kept grassy terraces for tent pitches, very clean shower/toilet block, hot water for washing up at the sinks. It was nice to have access to a picnic bench, there were several dotted about. Quite a peaceful site although with some background road noise, lots of birdsong morning & evening.

Disliked: Annoying radio 2 playing when you go into the toilet block, even in the dead of night. There was nowhere to plug in a phone charger or a fridge/freezer for campers.
No wifi

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: Great location close to Buxton. The toilet/washing facilities were very clean and modern. Lovely view of you can get a pitch at the top of the camping field.

Disliked: Camping field is on quite a slope!
Be prepared to roll away in your sleep.
Also the playground is next to the road in/off the site, not ideal for small kids.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are in the process of getting a new fence with a gate to make it more secure.

Local attractions

Like Bath in the south, Buxton was founded as a spa town by the Romans and became popular in Georgian times for the supposed health-giving properties of its spa water. Fill up your water bottle at St Anne's Well in front of the Crescent, then go on a Buxton tour to see its Georgian architecture and smart landscape, including the ornamental gardens at the Pavilion, and the Buxton Opera House, the highest in the country. The Peak District as a whole is full of market towns stuffed with local produce and interesting attractions: go to Bakewell for the essential eponymous tart; Leek for Rudyard Lake and the steam train; Ashbourne for a couple of hundred listed buildings, and fellow spa town Matlock Bath. If you don’t mind travelling a bit further, Sheffield and Manchester can both be reached in an hour to an hour and a quarter. Also nearby is Castleton with Norman Peveril Castle and four show caves; if going underground is your thing, also check out the caves at Poole’s Cavern just outside Buxton. And there’s caving (and climbing) aplenty all around the Peak District National Park, along with stacks of outdoor pursuits like hot air ballooning, gliding, watersports and biking the Tissington and Manifold trails.
