  • Grass pitches on a farm overlooking Arnfield Reservoir, Derbyshire
  • On the Trans Pennine Trail and 10 minutes’ drive from the Pennine Way
  • Walking and cycling accessible from the site; café-bar on site
Keen to get some hiking in? Crossgate Farm Campsite may be just the spot for you. Set on a working farm with views over Arnfield Reservoir and Longdendale on the outskirts of Tintwistle, Derbyshire, this is a smashing place for walkers and bikers, as guests have direct access to the Trans Pennine Trail, the Pennine Bridleway and Pennine Cycleway Route 68 from the site. Pick-up from public transport can also be arranged so you don’t need to worry about bringing a car. You can pitch up pretty much anywhere you want in the slightly sloping camping field, and while dogs are welcome on your Derbyshire farm stay, please keep them on a lead around the cattle. You’ll also probably be joined at some stage by the free-range chicks, guinea fowls and peacocks. Amenities-wise, the site has toilets and showers with separate male and female facilities. There is a café-bar on site, but if you prefer to do your own meal prep, barbecues are permitted on the camping field (bring your own gear). The village of Hollingworth (five minutes’ drive) has a small convenience store as well as pubs and takeaways.

Neil P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great location (half an hour's walk from Hadfield station) with lots of nearby walks. Brand new toilets & shower block - very clean and a nice upgrade from the portaloos that were there when I last visited! Cafe/bar on site serving breakfast & hot food (would have been nice to have a couple more vegan options) but very reasonable prices and great portion size for the chips. The site is a little hilly but you can pitch your tent anywhere in the field so this isn't really an issue. Can also rent a fire pit/logs.

Toby S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The scenery, atmosphere, facilities, our welcome was warm and informative.

Disliked: Not many flat pitches, we got lucky and got a pretty flat pitch (the site does advertise as on a hill so was expected!) only mentioning incase others see and are aware to bring chocks to level out! Was a great site!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Campsite was very clean and well looked after. Shower blocks and toilets were immaculate. Animals on site which were fun to see

Disliked: Attitude from member of staff on the morning of leaving found quite rude. Entrance has separate entrance and exit which is sign posted as you leave and enter (as we later discovered) we camped no where near the leaving sign. Staff was quite abrupt when he rudely asked why we “ignored” the rules. Fair enough that we may have forgot about the rule told to us 15 hours prior and did not see the only two sign posts but there was a lot nicer ways to put it.

From the manager: Really sorry a member of staff was rude to you. We had a very busy weekend because of the Party in The Barn 25. It is a new member of staff I will speak to them about their customer management.
Sorry once again.

Will be back in a couple of weeks when the weather warms up.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly staff. Lovely and super clean toilet and shower block, they looked new.
Stunning views.
The peace.
The onsite cafe is great, as they do hot drinks and meals, so you can have a bite to eat before you pitch up for the night.

Local attractions

There’s bike hire in Hadfield (five minutes’ drive) for cyclists keen to embark on the Pennine Cycleway Route 68, which can be accessed from the camping field along with the Pennine Bridleway and Trans Pennine Trail. There is a connection to the Pennine Way at Torside Reservoir (10 minutes). If you’re just not that into the long-distance, serious hiking stuff, you can still get plenty of bracing Derbyshire air fishing at Arnfield Fly Fishery (five minutes’ walk), practising your swing on 18-hole golf courses (20 minutes) and exploring Pennine trails on horseback (15 minutes). Birdwatchers might get lucky and see curlews and red grouse flitting around the water at Dove Stone Nature Reserve (25 minutes), or woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and owls at Eastwood Nature Reserve (10 minutes). Keep an eye out for hares, red grouse and warblers as you circumnavigate Ladybower Reservoir (half an hour), or see if you can spot harriers high above rugged Kinder Scout (50 minutes).
