  • 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

Spotless and well-kept site with top-notch modern facilities, especially the showers and kitchen/lounge. Spacious pitches with lovely Peak District views and easy access to sights and walks. Pub nearby. Minor road noise noted by some, but often minimal. Highly recommended for quality and design.

Jo P.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (large, twin axle)

Liked Very nice site, easy to get to, large pitches are big and separate parking next to your van for your car.
Didn’t realise it was fully serviced.
Facilities are very clean and modern, enough facilities for the size of the site.
Only stayed for a weekend but felt very relaxed.
WiFi and signal not brilliant but was nice to get away from it to be honest.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

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.

Sally B.

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch (no awning, small)

Liked Exceptional site. 100% recommend. The site is very well maintained with one of the best hospitality blocks we have used in the UK. This consisted of very clean toilets and showers always with a constant supply of hot water. Large cubicles with plenty of hooks. A kitchen offering a hob, combi microwave, washing machine (no charge for this) iron and ironing board a fridge and freezer. They even leave washing up liquid (unheard of elsewhere). The communal area is well though out offering a comfortable seating area, TV and large dining area. Again beautifully clean. There are also games and puzzles and a most comprehensive folder highlighting attractions around the area.
We stayed in a campervan the pitch had amazing views.

Disliked Could not find a fault with is site, apart from phone signal which isnt their fault !!

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch (no awning, small)

Liked Small and peaceful perfect, with The Church at Chelmorton great for pub food. The site is small with a few hook ups for campervans. Some holiday cottages and caravan area. Great for exploring Buxton, Bakewell area. The amenities are good and clean for a small site.

Disliked Be prepared for road some road noise.

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…)
