  • Peak District touring pitches at a farm in the village of Wetton
  • Walk from site to Thor's Cave; Alton Towers 20 minutes' drive
  • A short walk from the village pub and tea room, plus walking trails
If the key components of your break in the Peak District National Park are a) easy access to walks, and b) easy access to a good post-walk pint, then you’ll probably be most pleased with the location of Yew Tree Farm Touring. This Derbyshire touring site is on the edge of the village of Wetton, opposite the village car park, which functions as the start point for several walking routes. That means that once you’ve parked your van, you can simply set out on foot to get to Thor’s Cave, meander along the Manifold Way or find various other ways to soak up some of the scenery. If you don’t mind a little bit of a drive, the likes of Dovedale and the Heights of Abraham can be on the schedule too. Wherever you end up (even if it’s Alton Towers, which is also nearby), you’ll be able to finish the day with a well-earned drink at the local pub, which is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the site. The village also has a tea room that’s open at weekends if a piece of cake and a cuppa is more your style. The site opens up its on-site refreshment trailer during summer weekends (from 10am to 5pm) to sell locally sourced Jersey ice cream, drinks and hot drinks. For dinner, you may want to bring along a barbecue and load it up with supplies from shops in Ashbourne (20 minutes’ drive) instead. Touring pitches are set up in a five-acre field, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have a bit of peace. There's a shower and toilet block on site, with outdoor washing-up facilities and a hot-water dog wash, as well as a chemical toilet disposal point.

What customers say

Great spot for walks like Thor's Cave, with spacious, clean facilities. Weekend food trucks are a win. Bit muddy in rain & roads can be tight, but it's a peaceful, friendly, great-value gem.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely one-night stay to try out camping with our son for the first time.
Site has great views and pitches are well spaced. Toilet and shower facilities were very nice.
Other campers were a mix of families in tents, camper vans and a few groups of younger people. But everything was nice and quiet after 10pm.
Added bonus were the food trucks in the morning for our breakfast (this was on the weekend).

Also the staff were very helpful when our car battery had died in the morning, as they called for someone local to come with a jump pack. They arrived very quickly and our car was up and running again within no time.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Easy booking. No hassle arrival. The site was a very good size with loads of space. Toilets suprisingly clean for a campsite with lovely free showers. Hot food and drinks on site was a massive bonus. Great location for the start of many walks.

Disliked Can't think of one thing!
