  • 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: Spotlessly clean, great facilities, beautiful location. Quiet , stunning scenery

Disliked: The pitch had a brick wall at the rear which meant we had to pitch our caravan horizontally thankfully we had a motor mover !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the scenic setting. The motor mover definitely comes in handy. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Friederike H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

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

Liked: Very nice and clean facilities (showers, toilets, kitchen, lounge), although they may be too small when the site is full.
Great location in the Peak District, several walks can be made from the site. Good pub in walking distance (20 minutes, partly uphill).

Disliked: The site is literally next to a busy and noisy road.
A lot of the site looks like a parking lot, with a lot of tarmac. We probably had the nicest spot (no. 17, only for small campervans) (that's also the sight seen in the campsite's picture), right next to a field and with a beautiful view of Chelmerton - you just have to ignore the noise from the road right in your back.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. We are glad you liked the location albeit next to the road. The views from the back of the site are beautiful and we thankyou for your feedback.

Liked: Pitch offering and the facilities including the enclosed dog field. All clean and tidy. Self check in and out so did not see any staff.

Disliked: No onsite shop or local shop but aware of this before booking so our choice but would make this place even better!

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…)
