  • 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

Well-kept spot, clean facilities with lounge/kitchen. Pitches generally good, though some campervan sites basic. Great Peak District access, pub nearby. Road noise, especially motorbikes, is a recurring point but often not a big issue.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (large, twin axle)

Liked Great site, facilities spotless, easy check in/out, great communication. Location to nearby village, pub and walk and absolute bonus. We had a great weekend. Although not a problem for us, road noise is pretty apparent at times.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked The facilities were exceptional. Fantastic toilets and showers, super clean

Powered concrete and grass campervan site (no awning, small)

Liked Facility block is excellent, good toilets and showers and an excellent washing up area.
The lounge is also a great facility.

Disliked My pitch ordered was a small Campervan pitch and it was small but was ok.
I think it could have been improved with a little more gravel to reduce the mud.

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…)
