  • 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?)

Victoria D.

Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked Lovely warm toilets/showers/communal areas perfect for this time of year. Communal area a great addition, I’m sure it would be popular at busier times, great for socialising and meeting new people. Wifi worked well, toilets/showers were very clean. Location perfect for exploring the local area

Liked Beautiful site, friendly staff and some of the best facilities I’ve seen on a site. Will definitely return.
The nearby road wasn’t an issue like others have found. Take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

Liked Good sized pitch. Facilities clean.
Staff friendly. Great for walking. Lots of places to visit in the surrounding areas .

Disliked As we visited in winter, the path to the facilities would benefit from some lighting.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you had a lovely stay and liked our site and facilities. The pathway to the facilities should have lights on in the evening, we will have a look into why they didn't come on. Thankyou for brining it to our attention.

Deb C.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite (no awning, small)

Liked The spotless facilities, hot showers, kitchen and communal lounge area, probably the best we've had during a stay. Very quiet campsite, good info prior to arrival and clear instructions. Nearby Church Inn was lovely for food although we drove rather than walked due to the weather.

Disliked No WiFi on the campervan pitch, pitches are small so we wouldn't stay in the Summer months but was fine for us in February for 1 night.

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…)
