  • 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

Top-notch, spotless facilities including modern showers and a great kitchen. Spacious pitches. Brilliant for walks and exploring nearby villages. A few noted road noise and dodgy Wi-Fi, but most guests rave about this site and would definitely come back.

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

Liked Super facilities block, probably the best I've seen, lovely lounge and field area, convenient for Buxton and lovely countryside.

Disliked Bit of traffic noise from the road - otherwise, I'd have given it 10.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (large, twin axle)

Liked Everything. Loved the walk to the caves that lend to the pub! Pub is roughly 25mins walk away if you don’t go on the hike! 🤣 can’t really fault anything. The lounge was a bonus extra. We will most definitely be coming back!

Disliked Nothing not to dislike.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Clean site and very well placed to explore the Peaks

Disliked Being located right next to such a busy road removes what would otherwise have been a peaceful break. Of course, you can't move the road, so it is what it is, but it was a shame.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you liked our site facilities. It is unfortunate that we are close to a B road and with one of the major A roads near to us being closed meant travelers were using this road more than usual. If you do however decide to return to us in the future we would happily welcome you back.

Liked Nice site laid out well with good facilities. Close enough to Buxton and Bakewell both a short drive away through some beautiful scenery. Toilets and showers were spotless and pleasantly warm. Really enjoyed our time at the site.

Disliked Road noise but this was mentioned and did not spoil our stay.

Liked Really good small site with everything need catered for .. and more!
Everywhere is spotlessly clean with great bathroom and showers and also a proper kitchen with appliances-I used just to wash up but it was just like being at home!
There is also a living/dining room area for communal use.
The pitch had a water tap and EHU and was large.Lovely surroundings with flower pots, a dog walking field, benches etc
WiFi was superb too

Disliked The road noise-I slept in the campervan pop top which is definitely noisier than ‘downstairs’ but some disturbance even though I used ear plugs.

Liked Great site with amazing facilities. Everywhere was very clean. WiFi, electric hook up and water on each pitch. Pitches were very spacious. We didn’t use the space but there is a well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities and a lovely relaxing lounge area. There was no formal check in and the pitch was given beforehand which we liked as we could just turn up whenever. Location was great, close to Bakewell, Buxton and man tor. Lovely views.

Disliked The noise from the road which started around 5am although this isn’t the sites fault.

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…)
