  • Small dog-friendly site in a two-acre woodland and field
  • In the Peak District National Park, 15 minutes’ drive from Bakewell
  • Firepits permitted; Tissington Trail 20 minutes’ walk away
The Peak District National Park is dreamy in itself, and even dreamier is staying on a small dog-friendly site set in a two-acre woodland and field with discrete lighting around the facilities only and glades in and on the edge of the woods. Oldhams Wood in Derbyshire is a proper refuge; the pitches are out of sight of each other, so it’s very quiet and private. Well-suited to families or small groups, this site is kitted out with a toilet and washing-up area with hot and cold water. Firepits are available, so you’ll have an atmospheric setting to recount the day’s tales. What might these be? Perhaps you spent the day cycling for 13 miles down the Tissington Trail, which is 20 minutes’ walk away, or consuming ample Bakewell tarts in Bakewell, 15 minutes’ drive away. There are many more characterful Peak District spots within driving distance, of course. However, if it’s some tasty sustenance you’re looking for first, there are pubs within five minutes’ drive of the site and shops within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Parking is provided 200 metres away, but vehicle access is possible across a field (except in poor weather) – this is for setup only to avoid any damage to the grassy access track.

What customers say

Spacious, private pitches perfect for families/groups. Peaceful with beautiful views and well-kept grounds. Warm water facilities, firewood, and a friendly, helpful owner are highlights. Minor traffic noise didn't spoil this "back to basics" escape. Handy for Arbor Low.

Secret unpowered grass tent site (woodland)

Liked On arrival, the gentleman was so welcoming and friendly and couldn't help us enough. We also had a laugh which was nice. The area was extremely peaceful considering we took 7 children with us. The site itself had a few pitches and ours was secluded and private which allowed the children to run around and just be children. The pitch fitted 2 family tents and we had a lot of space (not like some which is car, tent, car tent etc) the views were lovely and we enjoyed the livestock next to us. there's a toilet and a sink with warm water and also a fresh water supply. It was back to basic which is just what we were looking for and well needed. Thankyou for your hospitality from us all! Amazing! Thankyou, will definitely be back with more of us

Unpowered grass tent site (large, woodland)

Liked Great pitch. Our dog loved being able to run around without bothering everyone else nearby. Everything you need close by- fresh water, toilets, washing up. You can even buy firewood from the site themselves, comes with some really handy fire starters too. Shame our time was cut short as we arrived late- would absolutely stay again!

Disliked Quite bad signal in some spots. But no fault of the owners- just a remote spot.

Recommend to friends Visit again
