Add your business details- Small glamping site in the Peak District National Park near Matlock
- Bakewell, Dovedale and Chatsworth Estate within 25 minutes' drive
- Cosy bell tents with proper beds, next to the High Peak Trail
Days spent roaming around the Peak District National Park, nights spent cosying up under canvas but in comfy beds… sound like your kind of break? If so, make for Minninglow view, in the southern stretch of the national park about 20 minutes' drive from Matlock.
Walkers and cyclists will be in their element here, as this site is just next to the High Peak Trail, a 17.5-mile traffic-free trail that makes a great way to see some of the surrounding scenery. There are plenty more routes around the area too, of course, plus options galore for days out: perhaps trying out the watersports at Carsington Water, visiting the famed Chatsworth Estate or riding all the rollercoasters at Alton Towers.
Perhaps you'd also like to throw some fishing into the mix? That’s easily done, as the site has its own fishing pond that guests can use for an extra fee payable on site – you’ll need to bring your own kit and follow the catch-and-release policy.
Back at base after whatever activity you've chosen, you’ll be staying in cosy bell tents that have been well spaced around a field with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Each one has beds made up for your arrival and a cool box filled with ice so you can keep food and drinks cold ready for your evening meal – which you can cook up on your barbecue and serve at your picnic table. Shared facilities include a shower block with several cubicles and several eco-friendly compost toilets.

Local attractions
As well as the High Peak Trail there are heaps of excellent walking/cycling routes around – a few favourite local destinations are Harboro Rocks (15 minutes' drive), the Dovedale stepping stones (20 minutes) and Thor's Cave (25 minutes). The Tissington Trail runs from Ashbourne (20 minutes) and the Monsal Trail from Bakewell (25 minutes), where you should also sample some of its famed tarts or puddings.
Chatsworth House (25 minutes) is one of the area’s big attractions, with lots to see and do for all ages. As well as the lavish mansion itself, you can also tour the gardens, meet animals in the farmyard, visit the farm shop and let the kids have fun in the adventure playground. Bigger kids will no doubt also love the thrill rides of Alton Towers (35 minutes).
Just outside the national park there are a couple more excellent attractions in the form of the Heights of Abraham cable car (20 minutes) and Crich Tramway Village (25 minutes). Carsington Water (15 minutes) is close to both of those and has activities including kayaking, windsurfing and paddleboarding.
