Sacred Nature Campsite

Where to start with the Peak District National Park? Well, you may like to make your way to Edale (25 minutes’ drive) for a trip to Blue John Cavern and an ascent of Mam Tor. Kinder Scout (35 minutes) is close by for those who need a bit more of an uphill challenge, while those in search of something more gentle may like to take a walk around the ‘plague village’ of Eyam (half an hour). Also nicely relaxing is a stroll around the smart town of Buxton (15 minutes), although you can up the energy levels with a canoe trip from the town. If you’d prefer to be in the water there’s a lovely open-air pool in Hathersage (half an hour). You won’t be short of options if you like to tour a historic house as part of your holiday – take a tour of the National Trust estate used as the location for TV’s Pride and Prejudice over at Lyme (35 minutes) or spend the day at Chatsworth (40 minutes) to see the lavish mansion, hit the adventure playground and pick up goodies at the farm shop.
