  • Valley site a mile from the Peak District town of Buxton
  • Surrounded by woodland and with a gorge and viaduct at one end
  • Playground, games room, gas exchange and well-stocked shop
Travelling types, move Buxton to the top of your list. The Derbyshire spa town and gateway to the Peak District was once shortlisted as one of the top three most attractive places in the British Isles (Cork and Hastings were also acclaimed: move them to the top of your list as well). A mile from town and the closest site to Buxton is Lime Tree Holiday Park, in its own valley in a Special Landscaped 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; an indoor games room with pool table, kids’ corner and TV/DVDs; a well-stocked shop with local produce and an ice block freezing facility; gas cylinder exchange, and a microwave for heating babies’ or toddlers’ food. Among the amenities are toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette with ironing facilities.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: Terrace pitches. Exceptionally clean toilet and shower blocks. Hot showers! Lovely playground for children. Site was very peaceful whilst also being perfect for families with young children. The perfect base for exploring the Peak District. Shop, laundry room, small games room and farm shop on site.

Disliked: Pitchup states 10am to checkout so a relatively early start for nothing after being advised it’s actually 12 o clock check out.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: Peaceful and well-maintained site close to Buxton. Great on-site facilities and a terrific new shower block! There’s a small shop and games room on site. Would definitely come again!

Disliked: Back camping field is on an incline (but to be expected in the Peak District) top and bottom are flat and so are terraces.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: Great location for any camper with level pitches and hilly pitches for tents. Good facilities for washing up and the toilet shower block. All kept clean and tidy and shower/toilet block kept at right temperature. Will get a code for the shower/toilet block which is good imo 2 shops on site( didn't use any though) A nice little games room to chill down and watch tv.( kept clean and tidy) Laundrette onsite. Friendly and helpful staff who keep the holiday park well maintained. Nice backdrop of scenery. Mix of camping, motorhome pitches,camping pods, and static caravans.

Camping pod

Liked: Very nice and cosy camping pod. It was super clean and had everything we needed for the weekend stay. The toilets and showers were clean to a very high standard. Family friendly place. Nice shop and game room right by the reception. They also had a washing room , which we didn't use as only stayed 3 days. But very useful if you're going for longer. Would highly recommend and definitely will be coming back

Disliked: Can not sat anything bad about that place. Everything was perfect .

Local attractions

There’s quite a bit to immerse yourself in at the spa and market town of Buxton, one of the most popular destinations in the Peak District. Like Bath in the south, Buxton was founded as a spa town by 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 landscapes including the award-winning 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.
