  • Peaceful adult-only site on a small working farm a mile from Gawsworth
  • Jodrell Bank and Peak District walks within 15 minutes' drive
  • Communal firepit on site; easy access from the A536
High Lane Farm is a small working farm in a peaceful Cheshire spot about a mile from the village of Gawsworth. The village has a pub and a fishery, and it’s also home to Gawsworth Hall, a Tudor manor house that’s open for weekend visits and holds events such as live music and outdoor theatre shows. There’s plenty of space to relax at this adults-only site, and it’s often treated to gorgeous sunrises and sunsets as well as having some lovely scenery to admire at any time of day. There are a couple of dogs on site already, so guests are welcome to bring a dog along – there are several places nearby to take them out for a walk. There’s a rural atmosphere on site but it’s not a tricky location to get to – quite the opposite in fact, as it’s easily accessed from the A536. That also means that it’ll be straightforward to get out and about, perhaps planning a visit to Jodrell Bank or hikes in the southern part of the Peak District National Park. Back on site, facilities include a communal firepit, showers and toilets, and you’re allowed to bring along a barbecue for some alfresco cooking if you don’t fancy the trip to the pub.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Easy to book. The owners were so attentive and friendly. It is a working farm and having a field with the animals around is. Pretty amazing. The facilities are all under cover with a sofa or two so if you happened to be waiting for the kitchen, shower, toilet it is dry and comfortable. The eggs were delicious. There is a kettle, microwave, tea, coffee and a fridge if you want to use them.
The pub was lovely within walking distance with decent food and a beer garden. We went on a long walk through the countryside from the site too.

Liked Hosts were superb, couldn’t do enough to ensure your stay was enjoyable. Spotless amenities and a great selection of free toiletries for your use.

We will definitely go back. So peaceful.

Disliked It’s a blink and you’ll miss it turn into the farm. But once you notice the camping flag at the turning. You cannot miss it haha.

Tower View 1 bedroom shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Everything was perfect, it was spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and throughout the weekend Liz was so friendly and helpful! She gave us a lovely recommendation for a pub and walk. The hot tub was amazing and we were given instructions how to heat it through out the weekend. There were a few mosquitoes but we were also given repellent candles to burn and so had no issue with them at all. The cows were so cute and peaceful and we like that we had our own private field to look out onto and watch the sunrise. Couldn’t have stayed anywhere better!

Liked Amazing 2 days at this campsite. We have both not been camping since we were children and wasn't sure what to expect. Beautiful site with quirky kitchen, shower room and toilet. Gorgeous jams, gin and farm eggs for sale. Beautiful views of the countryside and it was so nice seeing the chickens and turkeys running around. My partner loved feeding the cows and meeting Leroy the bull !

The hosts Liz and Steve couldn't do enough for us. Including breaking into our car when we left the key in it ! Advising on how to start the fire-pit, lending us a frying pan and showing us how to work the electric hob. Lovely to chat with them and get to know more about the farm. They were the most hospitable and friendliest people we have met.

We will definitely be back especially to use the amazing hot tub! and to explore more of the local area.

Liked On arrival we were greeted by liz and skylar, we were made to feel very welcome. The shower and toilet area was very clean. Even the portaloo was spotless. The fresh eggs we had from them the next morning were lovely. We are definitely returning here for another nights stay.

Liked Well, what can we say… This lovely, peaceful place has much more than meets the eye! When arriving we were greeted by the most welcoming host, Liz, who made us feel right at home. After showing us the site, she also showed us the recently built spa which they have on offer for campers, which is absolutely incredible. The experience of using the hot tub and sauna really made the whole event special, romantic and relaxing, which is just what you need when camping. When booking, you get the spa to yourselves for two and a half hours in a secluded and private part of the farm. After using the facilities ourselves, I’d really recommend booking the spa experience if you’re thinking of camping! Here are Liz and Steven’s details to get in touch.

Liz and Steven’s phone number - 07788700470

Liz and Steven’s email - steventhornicroft@hotmail.co.uk

The field which we camped in was spacious with lovely views and was very reasonably priced considering the facilities provided for campers. This includes a warm rainfall shower, toilet, kitchen area with tea and coffee, and a little honesty shop with home made jams, alcohols, eggs and apples.

Also on offer at the lovely High Lane farm, are the services provided by Greta, who is an experienced shamanic healer, reiki practitioner and passionate meditator. Greta also hosts ceremonies throughout the year around addiction recovery, journeying, shamanic practice and celebrating solstice. See attached photo of the leaflet for more information, and Greta’s details are also below to book.

Greta’s phone number - 07379436082

Just to sum up, genuinely the best camping experience we’ve ever had, can’t recommend this enough.

Disliked Absolutely nothing!
