  • Well-maintained site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Walking distance to the Tissington Trail, Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud
  • Dog-friendly pitches; 20 minutes’ walk to the local pub
When the scenery is this spectacular, you don’t need to add many extra attractions to create a great little place to stay. That’s the (very sensible) approach at Hollington End Farm, a working farm surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Peak District National Park. The owners here have chosen to keep things simple for that true feeling of being immersed in these fabulous Derbyshire surroundings. There are no guest toilets or showers so you’ll need to be self-contained on the bathroom front, but you’ll have access to a chemical disposal point. Pitches are in a part-sloping field with plenty of space for awnings, barbecues and camping chairs, so get yourselves set up how you like and then put your feet up to admire the splendid views. Need some barbecue supplies? The town of Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive away) is a good place to find shops of all sorts, along with a few places to eat. If you’re more in the mood for a pub dinner, take a 20-minute walk across the farm’s fields to the pub in Thorpe. Heading the other way, a 20-minute stroll gets you to Tissington for a tea room overlooking the village duck pond. Keen to stretch your legs a bit more? A public footpath crossing the site takes you out onto endless miles of trails through the stunning scenery, including routes to Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale. And there’s good news for any hopeful wagging tails out there too – this site welcomes dogs, so they’ll be welcome to join you for a scenic stay and a walk or two.

What customers say

A peaceful, friendly farm site with lovely views, great for walkers. Owners are super helpful. Pitches can be sloped, but hardstanding is available. Basic facilities for self-contained vans. Close to attractions & a pub. Farm meat's a must-try!

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked There is plenty of room to site your van and awning if used, well managed grassed area, friendly helpful owners. Grey water can be disposed in the hedge bottoms.
There are footpaths from the site and it's dog friendly.
Useful information provided on arrival and there is an option to purchase meat grown on the farm.
Good pub 20 minute walk from site.

Disliked Need levelling blocks.
Wish we'd have known about the meat before we arrived, as would have bought to eat on site.

Liked Excellent location. Steph was very welcoming and helpful.
We had booked a grass pitch with electric which was a little bit sloping but soon sorted the size of pitch was excellent. Steph was able to provide extra electric cabling. Views were wonderful.

Local attractions

Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive) is more than just a handy place for shops – it’s also a lovely place for a wander, with heritage buildings, cobbled streets and a Thursday market. It’s also the starting point for the 13-mile Tissington Trail, a traffic-free route for walkers and cyclists; bikes can be hired locally. Delving further into the Peak District National Park might take you to places like Dovedale (five minutes), Thor’s Cave (15 minutes) and Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (15 minutes) or to popular towns like Buxton and Bakewell (both 25 minutes). Haddon Hall (25 minutes) and Chatsworth House (half an hour) both make excellent outings if you like to explore grand historic buildings. Just outside the national park’s boundaries, the cable car at Heights of Abraham (half an hour) is a great way to see some of the scenery from above. If that’s not quite enough of a thrill, try a day on the rollercoasters of Alton Towers (25 minutes) – or the rides of Gulliver’s Kingdom (25 minutes) if you’ve got smaller kids.
