  • 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?)

Hayley L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Absolutely immaculate site with fantastic facilities. Only 10 pitches but has 5 proper shower facilities with constant hot running water and a large private changing area and clean toilets. Kitchen facilities included 2 sinks, a fridge and freezer, washing machine - again spotless. With a lounge area that had space for at least a dozen people. Great views. Close to the Church inn which had great food and a really friendly atmosphere. Great access to walking a mountain biking trails. Free WiFi and a secure bike store.

Disliked Close to the main road so could be a bit noisy, although this didn’t stop us sleeping in past 9am!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (large, twin axle)

Liked Very clean, great amenities, very dog friendly

Disliked Pitches 1,2,8 and 9 are smaller than the rest, we were on pitch number 9 and we just managed to get our camper and drive away awning to fit. Could’ve just done with 0.5m wider.
Road can be a bit noisy

Thomas P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch (no awning, small)

Liked The site is easy to get to and is well signposted. The location is central to the Peak district, so it is very easy and quick to navigate around to the famous sites of the Peaks.

The site itself is clean, tidy and the facilities were very good. Clean showers and good water pressure. The site is tastefully decorated, simple, modern and clean.

We had pitch 16, which has incredible views and a field behind. The sunset was incredible whilst sitting in our camper.

Some say that the road is noisy behind, but we found that after 6, it quietened down, and had minimal traffic after 7. Making it lovely and quiet for the night.

10/10 cleanliness

Overall thoughts.. 10/10.

Disliked WiFi doesn't reach pitch 16 & 17, and when logging Into it in the communal area, it wouldn't let me fill out the login screen.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your kind review. Your sunset picture is amazing! What a way to enjoy your evening. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and the facilities we have to offer.

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…)
