  • 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

This well-kept, roomy, and quiet campsite offers lovely country views, perfect for hikers with simple access to Thors Cave and pubs. Showers and washrooms are consistently lauded for their cleanliness and quality. Weekend food trucks are a nice perk. Despite some noting narrow roads and occasional busy facilities, folks love it and want to come back!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location, close to a beautiful part of the Peak District with extensive walking choices.
Large open area in the middle of the field. Clean toilets, showers and washing up area.
Great for families.

Disliked Very disappointed and annoyed that the site was still giving out fire pits despite a major incident being declared on nearby moorland which had been burning for five days!
Site was very busy, I would not use it again at weekends or during school holidays.
Pitches very close together.
Site a little too big for my taste.
