  • Family-run dairy farm and fishery with views over The Roaches
  • Short drive to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park and Tittesworth Water
  • On-site farm shop and farm animals; 10 minutes' walk to two local pubs
Set on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Brooklyn Grange Farm is a back-to-basics site on a family-run dairy farm surrounded by gorgeous Staffordshire countryside. The scenery here is varied indeed, with views over quiet fishing pools, grassy meadows and the spectacular rocky ridge known as The Roaches. You'll also be well placed to sample local produce at this small-scale site – you can head to the farm shop and light up a barbecue (as long as it's kept off the grass). If you don't have your own, there are firepits for hire from the farm shop and kindling and logs for sale. There's also a village pub and carvery around 10 minutes' walk away on the edge of Thorncliffe (with another around 10 minutes' walk way in Blackshaw Moor). For more flavours, try Leek (five minutes' drive), a local market town with a good range of restaurants, cafés and food shops. After a trip to town it's back to the countryside, where you might like to try a spot of catch-and-return fishing at one of the site's well-stocked ponds (for an extra fee; you must have an Environment Agency licence; no fishing available during the spawning season, which is generally in late May and/or early June). You could also take yourself off for a hike in the national park (a mile away), where there are many miles of well-mapped trails to explore. As for facilities, Brooklyn Grange Farm has functional and well-maintained toilets for guests. There is one shower available here (bookable for an extra charge at the farm shop), or you can take the option of travelling five minutes down the road to Brough Park Leisure Centre.

Liked: Great location, great views, friendly staff. There's only two unisex toilets but they're very clean and well stocked. The farm shop is also pretty well stocked with all sorts of items. The camping field is pretty level and has a cold water washing station and a drinking water tap. A great place to stay.

Liked: Can’t really say a bad word about this place. We stayed for the weekend and we had a fantastic time. Lakes could possibly be topped up with fish but other than that we were very happy with our stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, much appreciated - glad you enjoyed your stay. With regards to the fishing pools we are known as a hard water & I tell everyone that comes, so our fish are a challenging catch which our regulars enjoy, we are not like the commercial fisheries or a runs water

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely calm site with stunning views of the roaches. If you just want to sit back and relax by your tent this is the spot. Lots of local walks close by like the roaches or Dovedale. My 3 yr old loved visiting the horse and donkeys with his 12yr old sister and her friend. Bbqs allowed with the choice to hire a camp fire from the farm shop which also sells lots of local fresh meat but also treats for the kids. Asda is only a ten minute drive away though if you need more things. Booked for one night but ended up staying two and currently still her until the morning.

Disliked: Nothing at all as it stated a basic site.

Local attractions

Make your way to the wild rides of Alton Towers (20 minutes' drive), the UK's biggest theme park. If your idea of fun doesn't include days full of white-knuckle rollercoaster rides, another family-friendly option is Peak Wildlife Park (10 minutes). For those rainy days, it's not far to reach Blaze Farm and The Potty Sheep (20 minutes), an ice cream farm which also organises paint-a-pot activities. For further agreeable outings, head to the Churnet Valley Railway (15 minutes) or the Manifold Valley (10 minutes) and Thor's Cave (20 minutes). You could go hiking and climbing at The Roaches (10 minutes), visiting Lud's Church (10 minutes) as an add-on. And where else to set your sights on? Trails Day (20 minutes' walk), a centre where guests can learn to ride a trial bike, or Tittesworth Reservoir (10 minutes' drive) for watersports and walking, and Madrenaline Activities (15 minutes) for archery and axe-throwing. Rudyard Lake (15 minutes) has a miniature railway too. A bit of luxury? You'll find it in the elegant grounds of Biddulph Grange Gardens (20 minutes), a local National Trust property, or in Buxton (20 minutes), an old spa town across the border in Derbyshire with a range of plush places to eat and drink.
