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?)

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch (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.

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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely great site in the lovely Peak District. The site is immaculately kept and the staff professional, friendly and helpful. I actually commented to a member of staff that we thought the innovative communal living room area and kitchen was a great idea (we used this both days). We loved the 24 hour nature of the facilities and the fact that on day two we could vacate the pitch then simply move my campervan, go out for a day of cycling and use the facilities after - brilliant. Will definitely be back.

Disliked: Not exactly a dislike, but the hardstanding material I found almost impenetrable with rock pegs and drill when securing the awning down - very unusual. Next time I will take a wider section of rock pegs and try to hammer in. This certainly would not put me off, may help you first time around.

From the manager: Thankyou for your very kind review. We are glad you had a lovely stay with us and are happy to read you would recommend us. We look forward to you visiting us again 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…)
