A peaceful spot

  • Peaceful wild camping at a farmland site in the Peak District
  • A 15-minute drive from the towns of Buxton and Bakewell
  • Less than an hour from Alton Towers theme park; near the Monsal Trail
Relaxing among green fields, trekking through the hills of the Peak District and settling down of an evening in a traditional village pub… If that sounds like your dream getaway then Burrs Manor Wild Camping, a mile from the village of Chelmorton in the Peak District, should be the very spot for you. The site is in a top spot for walking and cycling getaways, close to many of the waymarked trails crisscrossing the Peak District. The site is three miles from the start of the Monsal Trail, where you can hire bikes or explore the former railway line on foot or horseback, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from the starts of the High Peak Trail and the Tissington Trail. You can stay active on site with a game of footgolf (book in advance) or just idle around in the peace and quiet of the countryside farmland, taking in the view over the farmhouse towards the peaks. To unwind in the evenings, head to the traditional village pub in nearby Chelmorton, a 25-minute walk away, to have a bite to eat and knock one back in the beer garden. If you’d prefer to handle all the cooking yourself, barbecues are welcome on site and the towns of Buxton and Bakewell are nearby when you need to stock up on supplies.

What customers say

Great value campsite with ace "wild camping" vibes. Stunning views, heaps of space, and a chill atmosphere. Just a heads-up: ground can be a bit sloped and showers can get busy. Manager's on it with keeping things spick and span.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Quiet campsite the weekend we visited, beautiful views, lovely pub a 20 minute walk away, very casual atmosphere without lots of rules to follow. Showers were decent.

Disliked Toilets were extremely basic, nothing to dry hands on, often without toilet paper. Majority of pitches were very slanted.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good Morning

Thank you for your review , we are glad you enjoyed the campsite and its beautiful views , we quite agree we are very lucky living in such a beautiful part of the world , that is the beautiful rolling hills of the Peak District which is why some of our pitches are slightly on a slant

The toilets are basic , however they are clean and functioning and we never advertise as anything other then wild camping so toilet facilities and showers are an advantage to your wild camping experience
Check in is very laid back as that is the approach we like to make people feel welcome and relaxed , to just find a pitch and get settled in , I am sorry you prefer a more structured environment

we do hope to welcome you back one day

Local attractions

There’s lots more to do in the Peak District National Park than follow trails: abseil from the viaduct at Millers Dale, explore the spectacular dams of Derwent Valley or dive below ground at Blue John Cavern – all less than an hour from Burrs Manor. The nearby towns of Buxton and Bakewell are must-visit spots too: in Buxton, go below the earth’s surface once more at Poole’s Cavern, stand under the stunning Devonshire dome, or stroll through the Pavilion Gardens. And in Bakewell? There’s plenty to see and do here too, but the one thing you must try is a Bakewell pudding... Plenty of old houses are in the area for historic and cultural days too: Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Tissington Hall are each less than 30 minutes from Burrs Manor, and The Old Manor, White Peak Estate, Little Moreton Hall, Kedleston Hall and Sudbury Hall are all within an hour’s drive. Too sedate? A more high-octane experience awaits on the rides at Alton Towers theme park, a 50-minute drive from Burrs Manor. For something that falls somewhere in the middle, try a treetop adventure full of zip lines and rope courses at Go Ape, 15 minutes from the site.
