  • Family-run dairy farm and fishery with views over The Roaches
  • Short drive to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park and Tittesworth Water
  • On-site farm shop and farm animals; 10 minutes' walk to two local pubs
Set on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Brooklyn Grange Farm is a back-to-basics site on a family-run dairy farm surrounded by gorgeous Staffordshire countryside. The scenery here is varied indeed, with views over quiet fishing pools, grassy meadows and the spectacular rocky ridge known as The Roaches. You'll also be well placed to sample local produce at this small-scale site – you can head to the farm shop and light up a barbecue (as long as it's kept off the grass). If you don't have your own, there are firepits for hire from the farm shop and kindling and logs for sale. There's also a village pub and carvery around 10 minutes' walk away on the edge of Thorncliffe (with another around 10 minutes' walk way in Blackshaw Moor). For more flavours, try Leek (five minutes' drive), a local market town with a good range of restaurants, cafés and food shops. After a trip to town it's back to the countryside, where you might like to try a spot of catch-and-return fishing at one of the site's well-stocked ponds (for an extra fee; you must have an Environment Agency licence; no fishing available during the spawning season, which is generally in late May and/or early June). You could also take yourself off for a hike in the national park (a mile away), where there are many miles of well-mapped trails to explore. As for facilities, Brooklyn Grange Farm has functional and well-maintained toilets for guests. There is one shower available here (bookable for an extra charge at the farm shop), or you can take the option of travelling five minutes down the road to Brough Park Leisure Centre.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Decent sized pitch, very picturesque, nice walks around, had everything you need. A shop that has everything you need.

Disliked: It was very windy ,not sure if this is a common thing regardless of weather..was meant to stay 2 nights but Unfortunately had to leave the site the 1st night due to the weather, tent ended up flooded after a 9 hour thunderstorm but that was no fault of the site obviously , nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, much appreciated despite the weather - unfortunately Saturday evening was a bad storm which lasted quite a while, looking at the news it was over most of the country so just not here - Thanks for the lovely photos

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: 2nd time staying here, second time bad weather (strong winds first time, thunder, lightning and heavy rain the second - luckily not for the whole time) and loved both times. Such a nice place, choose you're own pitch, fantastic views of the Roaches and Hens Cloud. Easy to get to - a short drive to Leek or the Roaches. There's a couple of fishing lakes and a large pond. Very friendly.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great location, great views, friendly staff. There's only two unisex toilets but they're very clean and well stocked. The farm shop is also pretty well stocked with all sorts of items. The camping field is pretty level and has a cold water washing station and a drinking water tap. A great place to stay.

Local attractions

Make your way to the wild rides of Alton Towers (20 minutes' drive), the UK's biggest theme park. If your idea of fun doesn't include days full of white-knuckle rollercoaster rides, another family-friendly option is Peak Wildlife Park (10 minutes). For those rainy days, it's not far to reach Blaze Farm and The Potty Sheep (20 minutes), an ice cream farm which also organises paint-a-pot activities. For further agreeable outings, head to the Churnet Valley Railway (15 minutes) or the Manifold Valley (10 minutes) and Thor's Cave (20 minutes). You could go hiking and climbing at The Roaches (10 minutes), visiting Lud's Church (10 minutes) as an add-on. And where else to set your sights on? Trails Day (20 minutes' walk), a centre where guests can learn to ride a trial bike, or Tittesworth Reservoir (10 minutes' drive) for watersports and walking, and Madrenaline Activities (15 minutes) for archery and axe-throwing. Rudyard Lake (15 minutes) has a miniature railway too. A bit of luxury? You'll find it in the elegant grounds of Biddulph Grange Gardens (20 minutes), a local National Trust property, or in Buxton (20 minutes), an old spa town across the border in Derbyshire with a range of plush places to eat and drink.
