  • 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?)

This tidy little spot's got top-notch facilities, with clean showers, toilets, and a kitchen/lounge. Guests rave about the peace, views, and Peak District access, plus a nearby pub. A few noted road noise and patchy WiFi.

Glyn R.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Facilities are fantastic very clean. Pitch was a good size.

Disliked I'm not sure if the electric point was working properly my leisure battery seemed to go down rather than hold it's charge when plugged in.
Pub is in walking distance if you are a seasoned walker not for someone with bad knees . Road noise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

All the electric points have been serviced recently and we are always contactable and happy to help if you have any issues on your pitch. Thankyou for the recommendation and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Unpowered gravel and concrete campervan site (no awning)

Liked Sich a good site for a microcamper. Modern block with a good kitchen, nice clean loos and showers. My pitch was level, it didn't look much initially though nice views, but then I saw hares running through the field next door.
Staff super helpful in sorting out my error when booking.

Disliked Slight noise from the road but not enough to trouble me.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Small site equipped with everything you could need. The communal areas were very clean and the site was beautifully kept. The site was also within walking distance of the village of Chelmorton which had some nice walks around it for the dogs and a good little pub that was dog friendly and served food. Also very handy for the Hope Valley area, Buxton and Bakewell.

Disliked Only downside was that my pitch was right alongside the A5270 which was quite busy so there was some road noise.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit to the Peak District and liked our site, facilities and all the walks in the area. The pub is a lovely added bonus. The road noise can disturb some guests however I am glad you would return and we would happily welcome you back.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Very spacious, well kept pitches. Lovely clean shower facilities, lounge and kitchen. Friendly staff. Great location for visiting Buxton, Bakewell etc

Disliked Some road noise. It wasn't too disruptive as it was cool enough for windows to be closed, but I think it would disturb you if you had windows open in better weather, particularly early on Sunday morning when motorcyclists use the nearby road.

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…)
