  • Small, modern caravan park in the Peak District National Park
  • A 20-minute drive from Chatsworth Estate and 10 minutes from Buxton
  • Award-winning pub within walking distance
A small, modern and well-kept site, within easy reach of Buxton and Bakewell and a short walk from an award-winning pub – Farditch Farm is quite the Peak District pleaser. This friendly park in the village of Chelmorton is the place to settle for a little while if you seek your own space; valuing quality over quantity, the owners have elected to set up just a handful of pitches, each one spacious and surrounded by landscaping for the dual win of privacy and pretty colour. There's also good vehicle access, although the site is quite close to a busy road and does experience some traffic noise. Facilities have been limited to the essentials to maintain an uncrowded vibe. But what essentials they are – the smart central facilities building has a cosy lounge area and communal kitchen, and the adjacent toilet block has all mod cons, including plenty of showers, an accessible bathroom and handy touches including hairdryers. A cycle storage area is available on request, with secure storage and bike wash point. Skipping out from the site you can your pick from rural rambles on the miles and miles of trails that network the Peak District National Park, sampling the puddings in Bakewell and taking the waters in the spa town of Buxton. Pick up your eats at Chatsworth’s farm shop, 20 minutes’ drive away, or wander down to the local pub, the Church Inn, to see why it’s picked up awards for its offerings (tasty food and a fire by which to sup your pint, perchance?)

What customers say

A tidy, top-notch park with sparkling facilities and lush, private sites offering great views. Perfect base for Peak District adventures, near walking tracks and a cracking pub. A bit of road noise from bikes crops up, but most punters rave and are keen to head back.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (large, twin axle)

Liked Lovely clean site and facilities.
Excellent location for exploring Buxton & Bakewell. Walk to the pub is a good 25-30 minutes and the last part uphill but at least all on footpaths.
Each pitch is separated from the next by shrubs, which offered some privacy and loved by the birds.
We would probably have preferred one of the smaller pitches which had a view, but had booked last minute so no longer available.

Disliked Road noise from early morning, but other reviewers had made us aware of this and so it wasn't a big problem.

Liked Had a great stay with the kids for 2 nights. Warm, clean facilities with everything we needed! The kids loved the communal area with the games and TV. And the little nature trail by the field was a nice distraction for them.

 Jo L. 10 reviews

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Clean and tidy small and compact. Toilet block lovely and clean showers really nice and no push buttons. Good dog walking area. Good location to Buxton/ Bakewell/Castleton and Eyam. Road could be noisey but after a few beers, slept like a log. Peaceful and relaxing! WiFi was good because as soon as you left the campsite no signal!!

Disliked No grass pitch and open site (no barrier). But we used our alco lock and a wheel clamp. So not an issue. Never done a handstanding pitch before, so missed the grass for the dogs, so not a dislike just not for us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you liked our site, location and all the facilities on offer to our guests. Due to the uncertainty of the weather and being open all year round full hard-standing pitches do work best for us however we are glad you had a relaxing stay and thankyou for the recommendation. We would happily welcome you back if you did decide to return to us in the future.

Powered concrete and grass campervan site (no awning, small)

Liked Super facilities block, probably the best I've seen, lovely lounge and field area, convenient for Buxton and lovely countryside.

Disliked Bit of traffic noise from the road - otherwise, I'd have given it 10.

Local attractions

With Chelmorton in the midst of the Peak District National Park, there are heaps of outdoorsy activities within easy reach. Walkers and cyclists have miles of trails to pick from; popular favourites nearby include the Tissington and Monsal trails. Horse riding, canoeing and climbing excursions are also available around the park. And might you fancy pottering around the country’s fave country house? Then it’s off to Chatsworth, 20 minutes from the site – the Italianate stately home has been voted to the top of the polls several times for its fab collection of art, its stunning state rooms and its gorgeous gardens. There’s also a farmyard and playground here for the amusement of smaller visitors. Plan to spend a bit of time in both the local towns of Buxton and Bakewell – the former for its grand opera house and elegant spa town heritage, the latter for poking about in the market and sampling its famed sweet treats (which is better – the tart or the pudding? Well, there’s only one way to settle that debate…)
