  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway bucket list, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground, then potter over to the on-site shop for books, magazines, toys and souvenirs. Ready for something to munch? The site shop also stocks food, drinks and fresh local dairy produce. For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

Electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch

Liked: Site was clean. Staff welcoming

Disliked: Caravan pitch was very uneven took 45mins after arriving for staff to find bricks to help level caravan, which was unhelpful in the pooring rain and a grumpy child and dog. We were told we were on the worsed pitch on the site by staff, we then asked to move pitches and told no.

Electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch

Liked: Toilet and shower block always clean Park well maintained

Disliked: Pitches uneven, no blocks to help levelling. Showers stayed in for 3 seconds and freezing cold in the men’s shower. Only one park, not two as advertised and no games room. The site was like a ghost town. There were a lot of seasonal tourer but no one in them, they had all closed for the season, even the statics were empty. We thought there might have been at least one family on there , it was half term. We took our 10 year old grandson and there was literally no one around, apart from a couple camping in a tent .

Electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch

Liked: Location in Peak District Nice play area if kids were with us Handy shop on site and friendly staff

Disliked: Pitches not private with slim piece of grass between Stones on pitch don't go all the way to the sides and mud and water on edge of plot so got muddy and wet shoes when changing water barrell etc Showers literally only stay in for 5 seconds per press so ended up leaning against button and also lights went off after a bit when in shower

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks... If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
