  • Peak District touring pitches at a farm in the village of Wetton
  • Walk from site to Thor's Cave; Alton Towers 20 minutes' drive
  • A short walk from the village pub and tea room, plus walking trails
If the key components of your break in the Peak District National Park are a) easy access to walks, and b) easy access to a good post-walk pint, then you’ll probably be most pleased with the location of Yew Tree Farm Touring. This Derbyshire touring site is on the edge of the village of Wetton, opposite the village car park, which functions as the start point for several walking routes. That means that once you’ve parked your van, you can simply set out on foot to get to Thor’s Cave, meander along the Manifold Way or find various other ways to soak up some of the scenery. If you don’t mind a little bit of a drive, the likes of Dovedale and the Heights of Abraham can be on the schedule too. Wherever you end up (even if it’s Alton Towers, which is also nearby), you’ll be able to finish the day with a well-earned drink at the local pub, which is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the site. The village also has a tea room that’s open at weekends if a piece of cake and a cuppa is more your style. The site opens up its on-site refreshment trailer during summer weekends (from 10am to 5pm) to sell locally sourced Jersey ice cream, drinks and hot drinks. For dinner, you may want to bring along a barbecue and load it up with supplies from shops in Ashbourne (20 minutes’ drive) instead. Touring pitches are set up in a five-acre field, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have a bit of peace. There's a shower and toilet block on site, with outdoor washing-up facilities and a hot-water dog wash, as well as a chemical toilet disposal point.

What customers say

This peaceful, basic campsite in a beautiful location offers quiet vibes, lovely views, and access to walks and pubs. Reviewers love the spacious, level pitches, portaloo, and water tap. Great value for money and an excellent base for exploring, like Thor's Cave. While facilities are basic and navigation can be tricky, most want to return.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked We stayed at Yew Tree Farm Touring and would happily return. On site Showers and toilets are clean and spacious pitches, also on site snack cabin serving hot and cold food. The location is perfect if you enjoy walking straight from the campsite. — No need to drive anywhere once you’ve arrived. There are some beautiful walks right on the doorstep, including routes to Thor’s Cave and along the Manifold Valley, with stunning Peak District scenery throughout. Also pub is just a 2 minute walk from the campsite. Would definitely recommend.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.
