  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Millers Dale
  • A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Farm shop and café on site; firepits available to hire
Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs such as local veg. The site also has its own café, the Cow Shed Café, which is open every day from 9am. There are regular live music events at the on-site café, mostly on weekends, including live bands, tribute acts and karaoke; on these nights only, cask ales, wines, spirits and beer or cider are up for grabs. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and showers. There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for the firepit.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked: Liked the farm shop and cafe/bar, excellent breakfast and a nice place to sit with the dogs. Tent area had excellent views and did what was advertised as being a ‘wild’ campsite.

Disliked: Curfew wasn’t really adhered to by other guests. Toilets could be cleaned more often to account for the mess some guests left.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (eight person)

Liked: Beautiful site, nice grassy pitches, cafe breakfast fantastic quality (but place badly run leading to waits for tables and food).
Amazing views and walks in the area.

Disliked: Overpriced. For the fees charged I expect better facilities - toilet block was cramped and run down, no hot water in the washing up area and had to pay extra to use showers. With hundreds of campers and only 4 showers the charge did help with queues for shower not taking too long- but maybe provide tokens at check in.

Site very busy on Saturday. Pitches poorly managed- returned after day out we struggled to access our site to park car. I was thankful that fires were banned that night by the fire service. Would have been a recipe for disaster tents packed close together, high winds, alcohol excess + open fires.

From the manager: Hi there,

Thanks for your review and comments - we are glad to hear that you were impressed by our location and cafe, although I am sorry to hear that you were left waiting for your food. We are very busy over bank holiday weekends and limited by space for tables in the cafe area.

We work hard to maintain our current facilities, while exploring plans for newer facilities in the future. Our showers are charged due to past misuse, as explained on the welcome sheet provided at check in. We would recommend visiting at times other than bank holidays if wishing for a quieter stay.

Many thanks,
Beltonville Farm

Local attractions

Squidged between Bakewell and Buxton (15 minutes’ drive from either), Beltonville has a nifty location near two of Derbyshire’s most popular towns. Make a foray to the former for River Wye wanders, passing by the medieval arched stone bridge, and the latter to see around some stunning architecture. Highlights on the heritage trail around Buxton Spa include the Georgian-era crescent, the Roman baths and the cupola-topped Devonshire Dome; for older buildings, the village of Castleton (25 minutes), lying in the lee of Mam Tor, has the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle to peer at. This spot’s also the gateway to the Blue John caves, the only places on the planet where the semi-precious Blue John stone can be found. Cast your eye over the largest intact piece ever mined on display at Treak Cliff Cavern (25 minutes), which also has some rather sizable stalactites and stalagmites for geologist types to gaze lovingly upon. Those aiming to give their walking boots a good workout here have plenty of choice: it's well located not just for the Monsal Trail and Millers Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnets Pass.
