  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway wishlist, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

Liked Loads of room. Clean facilities. Great park for the kiddos. Julie was brilliant at check in. Sadly it rained during our whole time so we weren’t able to enjoy it.

Disliked The toilets next to the shop aren’t in a great state but you don’t have to worry about that.

Liked The facilities were clean, the park felt safe for the children, the shop was well stocked, and the staff were lovely.

Disliked It would have been great to understand local walks. Nothing we couldn’t Google, but maybe signs for starts of trails.

Stay was ok but no interaction from staff let it down as I was alone.

Liked It was a nice clean site. The people in the reception/shop was very friendly.

Disliked The camping pitches were very sloped and with the trees on the pitches made it hard to get some guidelines out.
The woman’s toilet block had an awful smell on a morning - seems like this is an ongoing issue?
The main route around the site is directly behind the electric pitches and we could hear cars coming past us up to 10pm - this didn’t bother us but I can imagine it may bother some people

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks… If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
