  • 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?)

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The site was very well organized, no need to check in, all the details arrived on text or email. The facilities were very good and spotlessly clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Useful local info in the lounge. Quite a long walk to the pub, but well worth the effort! Within easy reach of Buxton - also well worth a visit.

Disliked A bit of noise from the road in the day, but not bad overnight.

Liked Great location, lovely small site. Toilet and shower facilities very clean. Showers are great. Dog exercise field very close by on the site. Will definitely book this site again.
Pitches also private due to hedge separating them. And most of all no mud as all hardstanding for caravans.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

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

Liked Alles war sehr sauber , eine perfekt ausgestattete Küche mit Mikrowelle und zwei Kühlschränken. Die Duschen groß und wunderbar warm. Die Besitzer freundlich und zugewandt.

Disliked Die Vanplätze liegen um eine große Halle - nicht so charmant. Die Fläche zwischen Wohnmobilplätzen komplett geleert, was bestimmt praktisch ist aber wir fanden es nicht so schön.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you liked the communal areas and the clean and warm showers. Our campervan pitches are less formal to our touring pitches however campervans are able to book touring pitches if that is better suited to your needs. Thankyou for the recommendation and we would happily welcome you back if you decide to return to us in the future.

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…)
