  • 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?)

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Everything, what a really great site. It had a very nice feel to the site. Very well laid out with great facilities & wonderful views.

Disliked The only thing I would suggest is using ‘what 3 words’ or a slightly more distinctive sign to help people find the site.

Hayley L.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Absolutely immaculate site with fantastic facilities. Only 10 pitches but has 5 proper shower facilities with constant hot running water and a large private changing area and clean toilets. Kitchen facilities included 2 sinks, a fridge and freezer, washing machine - again spotless. With a lounge area that had space for at least a dozen people. Great views. Close to the Church inn which had great food and a really friendly atmosphere. Great access to walking a mountain biking trails. Free WiFi and a secure bike store.

Disliked Close to the main road so could be a bit noisy, although this didn’t stop us sleeping in past 9am!

From the manager: Thankyou for the kind review. We're glad you enjoyed your time here and all the facilities we have to offer. The local pub is an amazing bonus not too far from our doorstep. Thankyou for the recommendation and hope you visit us again soon.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (large, twin axle)

Liked Very clean, great amenities, very dog friendly

Disliked Pitches 1,2,8 and 9 are smaller than the rest, we were on pitch number 9 and we just managed to get our camper and drive away awning to fit. Could’ve just done with 0.5m wider.
Road can be a bit noisy

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We're glad to read you liked our facilities and hope you enjoyed your stay. Pitches 1,2,8 & 9 are our super pitches which have the addition of the extra parking space. Thankyou for the recommendation and happy you would visit us again.

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…)
