  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Miller's Dale
  • A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Farm shop and café on site; firepits available to hire
Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs such as local veg. The site also has its own café, the Cow Shed Café, which is open every day from 9am. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and coin-operated showers for guests’ use (the showers require £1 coins, so please bring them with you). There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for the firepit.

What customers say

This working farm campsite boasts stunning Peak District views and a welcoming vibe. Guests rave about the helpful staff, the on-site cafe/bar/farm shop, and its prime location for hikes. While facilities are typically fine and clean, some noted they can get crowded. Upgrades to washrooms are planned. Events and live music are a hit, though a few found them a bit noisy.

Primitive grass tent campsite (large)

Liked The location is fantastic to do so many great things. The cow barn cafe is great, food great, service great and fantastic if you don’t fancy cooking. The showers are some of the best, you do need £1 to use them, so much space and the heat and water pressure is brilliant.

Disliked The men’s toilets are grim! You can tell there have been numerous things like toilet roll holders over the years put up so loads of holes etc, all they need is if not replacing with the same as the ladies is some TLC to tart them up! Our first night was great, but the second was very noisy, but that is the lottery of camping ⛺️ there were a couple of noisy groups which I feel alcohol made them lose prospective of time and volume.

Shepherd's hut

Liked The view from the hut was absolutely beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The toilets and showers clean. The location perfect for walks along Mill dale and Cheedale and exploring the beautiful countryside. It was peaceful. We had a lovely time.

Disliked It was a fair way to the toilets and through a noisy gate. I would appreciate a nearby toilet ( maybe just a portaloo) for night time wees for those of us more mature in years!

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Beautiful views, loved the swallows and other birds.

Disliked Leaking toilets, partying campers, dogs not on leads as required. Long way from far end of field to all the facilities. Toilets etc were all portacabins, and washing up area pretty basic - but worked OK. Surfacing of steep approach was terribly potholed.

Local attractions

Squidged between Bakewell and Buxton (15 minutes’ drive from either), Beltonville has a nifty location near two of Derbyshire’s most popular towns. Make a foray to the former for River Wye wanders, passing by the medieval arched stone bridge, and the latter to see around some stunning architecture. Highlights on the heritage trail around Buxton Spa include the Georgian-era crescent, the Roman baths and the cupola-topped Devonshire Dome; for older buildings, the village of Castleton (25 minutes), lying in the lee of Mam Tor, has the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle to peer at. This spot’s also the gateway to the Blue John caves, the only places on the planet where the semi-precious Blue John stone can be found. Cast your eye over the largest intact piece ever mined on display at Treak Cliff Cavern (25 minutes), which also has some rather sizable stalactites and stalagmites for geologist types to gaze lovingly upon. Those aiming to give their walking boots a good workout here have plenty of choice: it's well located not just for the Monsal Trail and Miller's Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnets Pass.
