  • 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?)

Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked This is our second stay on this site in our camper van. It is a great location for us, not too far from home to have a weekend stay. Easy access to the peaks district's many walks. A little village near by, that could be walked to from site, with a little pub - nice food/reasonably priced.
The site is well maintained and has a great playing field for children and a specific dog walking area - keeping the 2 separate. Hard standing pitches, great in the wet weather! The shower/toilet facilities offer warm rooms and water - very clean. A kitchen area available to use kettle, hob and microwave if needed and washing up facilities. My sone particularly loved the 'relaxation area' as he called it - a lounge area with sofa, table and chairs and some DVDs games to use.

Liked Great site with excellent facilities. Shower and toilet area very clean and modern. Fully fitted kitchen with microwave, toaster, washing machine and much more. Communal lounge with seating and TV was lovely and warm. Location was great for visiting Buxton with local Transpeak Bus Service passing regularly. Site was peaceful with lovely views.

Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked Lovely warm toilets/showers/communal areas perfect for this time of year. Communal area a great addition, I’m sure it would be popular at busier times, great for socialising and meeting new people. Wifi worked well, toilets/showers were very clean. Location perfect for exploring the local area

Unfortunately we are next to a road (which over time has got busier) and we are sorry the location didn't work for you and your family. You will always be welcome back if you ever change your mind.

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…)
