  • 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

This well-kept, clean site boasts modern showers, toilets, and a kitchen/lounge. Pitches are level, spacious, and private. Ideal for Peak District trips, though some noted road noise. Highly recommended for its facilities and calm vibe; guests often wish to return.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Simple organisation, beautifully clean and warm shower/toilets. A great luxury lounge and kitchen for use by tourers. An additional bonus was the TV aerial socket ( good for dark & cold winter evenings), and there is a fabulous book shop with cafe just around the corner - breakfast bagels and scrambled eggs ! Church Inn pub so friendly and great food.

Disliked Not a dislike, but just be aware of some road noise - obviously, because it’s by a road! The water tap froze - but it was -4 degrees……

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite (no awning, small)

Liked Lovely facilities with kitchen and lounge. Lots of useful information like suggested walks and taxi details. Beautiful views. Nice walk to a good pub.

Disliked Pitch 16 & 17 for campervans are tucked away behind the barn, they are very near each other / under a hedge. Wifi doesn't work in this area. Shops are a very long way away.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite (no awning, small)

Liked Location. Lovely clean hot shower, fabulous communal facilities.

Disliked Some people letting their dogs off lead to run free ignoring the signs, & wandering around our van.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you liked our site, location and facilities. It was unfortunate that some guests didn't adhere to our rules and your stay was slightly let down by that. We do have a contact number and email address in the lounge if you could let us know if that happens again upon your return. Thankyou for the recommendation and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

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…)
