  • Peaceful, pet-friendly farm stay in the Peak District National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to Buxton and Speedwell Cavern; Bakewell, 20 minutes
  • Village pub 20 minutes' walk; local trails like the Pennine Bridleway
Whether your Peak District plans include investigating caverns, hiking down limestone ravines or eating plenty of Bakewell tarts (or, indeed, all three), Lower Kempshill Farm is a wise base. As a peaceful pet-friendly farm stay, those who set down here can expect star-filled nights when the conditions are right and waking up to the sounds of sheep bleating or horses neighing. Those adventuring with kids will be happy to find an enclosed field. Kids can spy on the animals in the neighbouring fields. Outdoor enthusiasts will be equally pleased, knowing that the 205-mile Pennine Bridleway is a short walk away and there are lots of cycling or walking trails in the surrounding area. As a Peak District National Park site, Lower Kempshill Farm is an excellent place to get out to pretty villages, huge hills or splendid lakes. Sip on local ales at a cosy pub (for just that, the village pub 20 minutes’ stroll away). Pick up a local walking or cycling trail such as the Monsal Trail from the market town of Bakewell (20 minutes’ drive). Tideswell and the spa town of Buxton are both 10 minutes’ drive from the site if you’d like to pick out a bar or restaurant suiting your taste. Chatsworth House is another big attraction close by, well-known for its scenic gardens, walks, adventure playground and petting farm. There are show caves around Castleton (15 minutes) for those seeking another change of scenery.

2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Very quiet location just one caravan on its own with its own fenced off garden space surrounded by farmland. The owners left you to it but if you needed them they were very easily contactable and only down the road. Great location for travelling around the peak District. There are loads of beautiful walks just a ten minute drive away. We particularly loved castleton and the mam tor to lose hill circular walk. The caravan was lovely and had everything you needed. You do need your own transport otherwise you'd be very secluded.
